''All you need is one.''
That's the catchy line RealNetworks is using to trumpet the arrival of its latest RealOne Player software, unveiled Tuesday by CEO Rob Glaser at a press conference in Manhattan.
This new media player, available for a one-time $19.95 fee, is the first to handle playback of most every major digital media format: RealAudio and RealVideo, of course, plus MP3, Apple's QuickTime MPEG4 and Windows Media, from Real rival Microsoft.
The RealOne Player (including an upgraded free version) also lets consumers speedily burn CDs and play DVDs.
Beyond the new software, Real launched a premium subscription-based Internet radio service ($5.95 per month) and a college sports package delivering live broadcasts of games via the Web ($6.95 per month). It also bolstered the offerings of its RealOne SuperPass ($9.95 per month) online news, sports and entertainment pay service.
