I am a realone radiopass member. Pay $5 for my favorite stations in broadband. They get money too.
Lets say. If WM Player worked here on os x (which doesn't) I wouldn't even think of it.
I sat down and sampled all my original CDs (1000s) to AAC. If it was WMA format, I wouldn't even think of it.
I respect Ogg too, it has a real good quality. I used ATRAC3 on my windows days (being realplus user) for same purpose, mastering my own cds. It was a good format while yes, lacked some bass. I practically use the hardware version of it since I have a MD player.
I have nothing against microsoft. They are a company, thank them for offering ms office etc on Mac platform but WMA is totally different issue. Its one of the worst codecs out there, especially on modem rates any ear (untrained) can hear the frequency moving on high band all the time, lowband became artifical and one amazing fascist department doing EVERYTHING to torture the "other" OS users. Lieing to them that it works. Poor guys download it on 56k modem sometimes and figure its not working as promised.
It would rock if they offered Linux player to Linux users, an official client. Would like to see right now? Try it on OS X. Latest version on a full patched system. You will see it somehow manages to freeze browser even! A development company which I won't give its name considers to remove its support by default since their paid customers losing data because of that embedded, wrong coded plugin.
Your 4500 files are MP3, mine are AAC. On windows, they were ATRAC3. If I used windows right now, they would be still AAC since Real silently switched to AAC for mastering purposes. Rv10 is actually mpeg4 (of course, not plain mpeg4)
If Mark Levinson said "Use windows media, its excellent", I wouldn't still use it since at one point, I would be treated as a bastard customer because I am not using their OS.
It was really fun to send pseudo serious letters to independent site owners only doing favor to users yes?
How afraid they must be and how many love letters you get from users. E.g. mine , digitally signed one "Your product is indeed spyware, sue me bastards"
I wonder your feelings after seeing the ABC giant, DISNEY carries the story too...
Don't forget to send them cease desist crap too and inform us when you do it. It will be funny when the real big evil Disney's army of lawyers respond to you.
I think every clueless trolling story accepted to slashdot and all those "me too" self acclaimed geeks, mods abusing their power to downmod whatever comment they want to censor are nailing slashdot's coffin.
Just 4 months ago "$ thing is dead" post was a joke on slashdot and now its being accepted as a story!
I wonder if/. editors is at holiday or something. Recent formula is:
"$ thing is dieing" and 400 clueless "me too" posts "$ thing is opensourced" and 400 "it was abandonware, It sucks! $ things parent company is dead too" posts
BTW, we prefer Novell since we can get real support in case some bad thing happen. Imagining to get support from a guy like you... We made a good decision.
I was interested in java3d recently on my mac os x. I am one real customer of Java products as I licensed Thinkfree office etc. I see Sun on every risky environment etc, having respect to it... not that clueless to bite Sun all the time.
You guys have better stuff to do instead of trolling slashdot. First of all, make god damn Webstart easier for implementing. You got such a technology while even NASA couldn't find a way to implement it and forced people to download/install Mars stuff by hand.
Solaris is getting cursing on Slashdot? Eh, all the products I use, pay for gets bad words in slashdot comments. There are people who even downmods my comments about realplayer 10, Omniweb. Just click on my name, see all those cencors (flamebaits)
If you really work for Sun, you aren't Sun PR manager to reply every Sun comment with false information. Go to myrealbox and see how many users and uptime that "abandoned" programs beta has.
I don't think you are doing any good to company you work for.
I used Myrealbox for YEARS and it was ALWAYS beta/unstable as thats why myrealbox is free and clearly stated at www.myrealbox.com. Never seen ONE unplanned downtime.
Call Novell ANYTHING but never unstable.
Lazy to find but there was a machine running novell for 4 or more years straight in an university which was -literally- lost.
BTW, people calling Novell dead, ahem ask Wal Mart what they use. Or what huge airport/ticketing networks use...
A system not running on your Dell or at your geek friends basement doesn't mean its dead.
Thank you! I was about to lose my mind since I have read this release just 3 days ago. Also knowing Nokia ALWAYS stayed out of such closed (especially ms!) formats.
As part of the companies' joint announcement today, Nokia and Real officially communicated that Nokia has both licensed the latest Helix DNA Client code base and has officially joined the Helix Community.
I just bought Lara St. John Bach stuff from Magnatunes.com , I preferred MP4 (iTunes) as I will finally end up in that format even if I burn wav CD myself.
I noticed something. There was no selection for WMA even:) Even at 128kbps WMA sounds like tin. Unimaginable lossy in classical stuff even.
About MP4? Well, later I downloaded FLAC too. Not big difference on my sub $400 system.
I tried the latest Gentoo for G5 and it somehow locked my caps lock key so I couldn't even type "ls" Had to force shutdown my mac (press power for long time). At least it was CD-RW

Its a bank, not a home backup. There are dedicated chips for encryption. Stuffit here encrypts my daily backups via blowfish.
Bank, military etc uses 4096 or more and those chips are designed to encrypt data only. They are virtually transparent.
ssh! you will give shock to x86 guys showing them what they missed in DOS days ;)
;)
but! my Amiga was 1.5x faster than Mac with same cpu in emulation.
I just imagined Tim Berners Lee invented the Goatse too! His evil secret personality like Mr. Hyde
Wonders, should I believe to AC or CERN and Tim Berners Lee?
You know the NeXT? It supported jpeg natively aside from browser coded on it.

;)
Lets see what happens
Replies below or up explains the waste of review posting to slashdot.
"Its expensive", "command line", "one button mouse" and all usual crap.
Next time if you review a book about some real world server, don't use slashdot as platform.
Hopely networks like macnn, ziff davis or even macslash will pick it up so it won't be a total waste.
Wonder how I know her name for years? :)
:)
She could be a good defense minister attacking stuff etc.
Foreign ministers deal problems with diplomacy. So one of the architects behind post sep 11 policy (Iraq etc) became diplomat.
World is much more dangerous now.
I generally don't post comment about USA politics but how this thing differs from making Miss Rice state secretary, aka foreign minister?
Eh, to show how "clever" they are, read slashdot like me, without ad blocking.
;)
In a site which you can see hundreds of anti-flash ad people, there are flash ads.
I think it explains or... whats the matter really?

Standards based, not founded by ex spyware inventor, runs in Java (at least OS X I use)
I know this can/will reach to -1 level but...
I think every clueless trolling story accepted to slashdot and all those "me too" self acclaimed geeks, mods abusing their power to downmod whatever comment they want to censor are nailing slashdot's coffin.

It can be easily implemented yes?
If I was a developer like you, I would bypass this story e.g. ignore the comments. Especially "abandonware" "suck" ones.
;)
Hopefully Novell guys making this decision read these comments and have a clue who's hands they release that excellent code to.
Just like Real Networks got their lesson
So, Citadel developer or something calls an application framework, server whatever having latest standards "abandonware" and advertises own product?
I wouldn't give a shit to that application after reading this. This must be the best way to degrade the product to lowest lame standards.

Hmm, ok, when my 7650 dies (don't think so), my next phone will be Nokia.

Let me add one thing myself. Realplayer actually works in my 2mb ram Nokia 7650.
I just bought Lara St. John Bach stuff from Magnatunes.com , I preferred MP4 (iTunes) as I will finally end up in that format even if I burn wav CD myself.
:) Even at 128kbps WMA sounds like tin. Unimaginable lossy in classical stuff even.
I noticed something. There was no selection for WMA even
About MP4? Well, later I downloaded FLAC too. Not big difference on my sub $400 system.
Its done, excellent sample rate and bit depth. Even Mark Levinson suggests using them.

Don't be tricked by the company name in URL, there are lots of other companies. It was the first google hit and I am in hurry.
Its a record company, not online store. Those artists albums you see there are released by magnatune.
:) selling same stuff at iTunes store for example.
Their license is non exclusive too. E.g. you can see Lara St. John (see her!
I tried the latest Gentoo for G5 and it somehow locked my caps lock key so I couldn't even type "ls" Had to force shutdown my mac (press power for long time). At least it was CD-RW
