Kathy,

First, in case you don't realize this, I should mention that tracks 
purchased from the real music store are in .rax format, a proprietary, 
protected, real audio format. They will not play in any player other than 
realplayer. My strategy for getting around this is to burn them to CD-RW, 
then rip them off, as .wav or .flac files. But this latter step I think 
requires that you upgrade your basic realplayer to a premium realplayer, for 
a one-time fee of $19.95. Since I had the money, and it's only a one-time 
charge, I thought it was worth it to get full use out of what I purchase 
from the real music store.

I can't say that the real music store has everything I've ever wanted. But 
it has quite a lot; it's totally legal and accessible; and there's no 
adware, spyware, etc. to worry about. Moreover, the .rax files are very high 
quality 193KBPS files, that I, at least, can barely tell from CDs, if at 
all.

Now, as to your nervousness about getting involved with realplayer: It's 
definitely NOT my favorite player: it needs to be carefully installed, so it 
doesn't make itself your universal player, and so that it doesn't readjust 
all your volume settings; and there are a number of tricks you'll need to 
learn, to use it effectively. But, if you want to use it just for playing 
Real Audio streams, and for burning .rax files (That's all I really use it 
for.), it's definitely useable, as long as you are willing to put in some 
time to learn it.

Write me off list if you think you might want to go down this road, and want 
further, detailed pointers.

Blessed Be,

Dana
