Tracks go for 99 cents a pop, and you can grab albums for $10. The current catalog contains nearly 500,000 song. Just as with the competition, certain tracks are available only as part of their whole album, and some albums aren't sold in their entirety. In addition to browsing the store, you can make playlists, rip CDs, burn custom mixes, and listen to thousands of online radio stations. Real has finally added MP3 encoding at bit rates up to 320Kbps for free; in the past, you could encode only at a paltry 96Kbps unless you paid for the Premium version.

A nice little trick you can do with the RealPlayer is to transfer songs right on your iPod, as the software will detect that you have an iPod, then transfer a compatible file. You will be able to transfer and play back the songs purchased off the Music Store without a hitch. These songs will show up as 192Kbps AAC files on the iPod, and they sound excellent.

Here is what you need to do to transfer MP3 files to your handheld. Connect your handheld to your computer using the USB sync cable. Start the Real Player on the PC. Select palmOne Handheld from the Current Burner/Device drop-down list. Select the songs you want to transfer: Drag the song files you want from the My Library window on the left into the palmOne Handheld window on the right. To start burning, click Burn/Transfer.

RealPlayer 10.5 supports a 5.1-channel sound for DVDs. RealVideo 10.0 offers HDTV-caliber video at less than 5Mbps, so output is better, with less pixelation and warbling.

An annoying thing about RealPlayer is that it uses the System Wave volume control. This means that if you mute RealPlayer, you will mute the computer sound speakers. This issue has not been fixed even in the latest 10.5 version. Tip: install the Volume Logic plug-in to correct this bug. It disables RealPlayer's sound control and uses its own.

Here is another useful tip. Visit http://www.on2.com, the website of The Duck Corporation, the industry leader in compression technology which released VP5, one of their latest advancements in video compression. They also got VP7.
