MyPublish is working nicely. It's real easy to put stuff up and start selling it. I just put up a poem that my two-year-old wrote, which you can buy for a dime (it's well worth it, believe me): prodpur.wavesys.com

RealJukebox I downloaded the intial beta when it first came out. The product is pretty slick and very easy to use. A software security feature is supported which will "protect your music from unauthorized use". However, you have the option to turn it off during installation or later thru Preferences. There's even a short blurb stating what the ramifications are if you choose not to enable security during installation. The interface could use a bit more flair to keep up with some of the MP3 players that are out there, but overall a good product. I didn't pay a dime for it either and there aren't any annoying popup windows (at this point) that bug me to purchase a licensed full-featured version. FWIW, ---Slate

Wooly--I'm a shareholder in Real Networks (only my Roth IRA, however), and also a customer. Unlike Slate, I've found that their product is almost impossible to use, although that could be because I'm a Mac devotee, and Real Networks doesn't appear to really give a damn about us (he writes bitterly). Their instructions are very confusing, and I've often wanted to throw my computer out the window after having tried (and failed) to make their Real Player work. Either I'm an idiot (entirely possible, unfortunately), or if they are our only competitor on the music end then we're home free... Interestingly, the Maria Cantwell (Senior VP, Real Networks) cited in the previous post was a Democratic member of Congress who lost her seat in the debacle (from my perspective, anyway...) of 1994. Lucky for her, actually, as she then went on to become a zillionaire working for Real Networks. Funny how life works out sometimes...
