realnetworks should acquire mp3.com and winamp

otherwise they'll lose probably 30% to 50% of the future market for audio-video

i think mp3.com and winamp could beat real's player over time
these two (mp3.com and winamp) are viral
real still thinks of itself as a software company in the old-fashioned license game
the better model in my view is as a broadcast network on the web
the software is incidental to the network opportunity
