They got owned by Media Player, they'll get owned by iTunes.

Why won't Real just die?

Ooh, paying the same amount for music that sounds worse, comes in a spyware-embedded player, and can only be handled from within there. Where do I sign up?

Unfortunately too many people know RealPlayer so they're bound to make money off of this.

The songs from iTunes will play in the Real Player. Interesting.

AAC files aren't that proprietary now, anyways.

Muhahahaha that will the day...

I find RealPlayer to be an extreme annoyance that is not used unless absolutely necessary.

I find RealPlayer to be a media player that is not used even when that means missing out on something because it is only in a RealPlayer format.

AAC has never been proprietary; it's the Fairplay DRM that has. In this case, Real Player is interacting with Quicktime in order to properly authorize and play Apple's protected AAC files.

The best part about that installing bit is that Real Player 8 wouldn't install on my system. My boot partition is F and while it created its directories it wouldn't install. I took that as a sign🙂
