The RealPlayer Music Store offers 192Kbps RealAudio 10 AAC files. Their new
Harmony technology (available in RealPlayer 10.5), adds compatibility for more
than 100 devices, including the iPod. Through Labor Day, all tracks are 49
cents, and albums are half-price. RealPlayer 10.5 does not install any spyware.
