RealPlayer makes iPod more useful

Northwest Herald: "RealPlayer 10.5 adds the unprecedented feature of iPod compatibility ... RealPlayer 10.5 allows you to move songs bought from RealNetworks' store and most other music files to an iPod. The Harmony software converts them to a form an iPod will recognize, without installing any software on the gadget ... RealNetworks has made the iPod even more useful. Yet, Apple is outraged and has threatened to sue."

Yep. It's curious, isn't it?

For the record, I've purchased about $150-175 worth of music from RealPlayer Music Store since the 49 cent sale started. Clearly this event is a boon to music lovers. It's curious that anyone would complain about it. What's most curious, of course, is that most of the people complaining haven't even tried RealPlayer. My take? It's excellent, and much needed, software.
