  1. Review - RealPlayer for Windows

    Still pretty much the same, but this 'upgrade' now forces you to pay them at least 12.95 per month to access the 'toolbar' mode, of course you get access to all those Internet Radio Stations that you ... well, can get with Winamp, Microsoft's Media Player, and a host of other players for free, so I don't know ... 3 stars down from 5 for this cheap little stunt.

  2. Comment - Death Knell Sounds for Nullsoft, Winamp

    Winamp helped usher in the era of MP3. While not always the best, it's dominant presence, easy of use (and installation for consumer level users) went a long way to help MP3s permeate the Net.

    So, so long (if true) Winamp, and thanks.

    I wonder what this means for another pioneering application that AOL took over, ICQ. AOL already went back on their word to not introduce banners and other advertising into the application. And for those who may remember, AOL has all but killed yet another pioneer, CompuServe.

    AOL, once it's gone (and it will be), what nice little swath of destruction it will leave in its wake.
