So, I go to the realjukebox website to hhok up a friend of mine with RJB, and now all they offer is RealOne. The crappy thing about it is that the free download is a 30-day trial, and the full version is $14.95.

I dont mind paying for software, but I'm ****ed that realnetworks isnt offering the free versions of the old stuff anymore. I think that the were upset that only 5% of their users upgraded to the PLUS versions, so now they want to make everyone buy their stuff. has anyone used realOne? is it any good?

From what I have heard about it, no it's not worth it. Real media is total crap and I wouldn't miss them at all. I don't really see any advantage to using their stuff except it does get stuff smaller, but it's at crappier quality.

If you use real media stuff a lot and can only use that then soon you will have to upgrade to it, they are changing the format of their files so they only work with RealOne. Real media = dead.
