re. Portable Real Audio Player Hi Urlman, I have been looking at this option from audible.com... they make a portable player that you can download real audio files to that you can take with you to listen to 'on the road'...it takes much less time to download, etc...I think it is currently $99.00 to buy the player to take with you... grief.dailybriefing.com The Audible player can now play Mobile RealAudio®.. RealNetworks™ and Audible have partnered to make spoken word RealAudio® files downloadable for mobile playback. click on this link to see the mobile audio player on sale for $99 audible.com Happy New Year, Chris o^o^

Hello Urlman, >Real Audio Walkman? >Would it be possible to make a Real Audio Walkman? Similar to the >RIO MP3 Walman by Diamond Multimedia but instead with ram files??? Yep ... it's very possible and done. But this is a bigger issue. I think that Real made a big error when they decided not to support MP3. MP3 is a huge market and going crazy. This is the classic situation where politics entered into the equation. The record companies are against MP3, so Real wants these customers and so they reject MP3 ... even though MP3 is going to continue to be huge. I'm still long RNWK (in at $14.25) but I still this this was a very poor decision. Scott C. Lemon
