Real Networks Hacks iPod; .rm & Real Store for iPod

Posted by Hemos on Monday July 26, 2004 @12:00AM from the real-competition dept.

alphakappa writes "According to Cnet, Real Networks is expected to announce on Monday that it has found a way to make its songs play on the iPod. Now songs bought from the RealPlayer Music Store can be played on the iPod. Earlier Real had made it possible for songs bought from iTunes to be played on RealPlayer by transparently starting the iTunes authentication in the background. However since Apple has not licensed the technology to make file formats playable on the iPod, the latest Real initiative could be construed as reverse engineering. How would this fare under the DMCA? Or is it just for the tiny ones?"

Follow the instructions from this link to get a free iPod! http://www.freeipods.com/default.aspx?referer=6861 125 All you have to do is sign up for a completely free eBay account and refer 5 friends to do the same. Bid on an item. You can pick an item you know you aren't even going to win. It doesn't have to be a winning bid. If you already have an eBay account, just register for a second one. Note: Make sure not to use a Hotmail account when signing up for the Freeipods site. For some reason you can't get the confirmation email to confirm your account.
