RealNetworks' music and video player will become the default player on Compaq's consumer computer line, replacing Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Media Player, the companies said Tuesday. The deal, scheduled to be publicly announced Wednesday, also will seek to draw Compaq users to Real's paid subscription services for music and video content. Called RealOne Membership and RealOne music, the services give users access to sports, music and other content, for a monthly fee.
