RealNetworks on Tuesday introduced a new digital media player that supports all the major file formats and expanded its subscription programming to include college sports.
The Seattle-based company launched a "universal" media player, called RealOne, which will stream audio and video files compressed in all the dominant formats, including MP3, Windows Media and QuickTime MPEG-4, as well as 50 others. In addition, the latest player gives consumers the ability to mix music playlists, burn CDs or play DVDs from their desktops. The advancements, including universal playback features, cost consumers $19.95 or are available free to RealOne SuperPass subscribers, who pay roughly $9.95 per month.
