Hello Doug,

I'm not sure that I went that far in my suggestions ... but I will say that MP3 *is* and *will* grow quickly ... RNWK needs to stay on top of content ... they would be wise to look into supporting this standard because it offers many benefits today.

I want to say that as of today I *am* in RNWK ... and plan to be here for a while! I believe they have a good product and are cornering good content. And content is King. Context is Queen.

Hey Doug, I see your a fellow WAVO-ite ... 26% jump today!
See, there is hope for companies like RNWK and WAVO that have a 'relationship' with Microsoft.

Nice trend on RNWK lately too.

I'm curious to know how some of you are using RealAudio/video during the day...

I often listen to Bloomberg once or twice a day and on occasion the MSNBC feed.

What I would really like to do is have RealAudio load and start playing a url at specific times then exit (to reduce bandwidth use), does that feature exist in the plus version? Maybe a windows script utility could be set up to do this....
