I heard they were making one and were going to never update realplayer but put out RealONE sometime in the future. Real one is in beta on the PC it is the RealJukebox mixed with RealPlayer and is replacing both of them.

Real is not going to port Real Player 8 over to OSX. What are doing instead is working on a new version called RealOne which will be available for OSX sometime in the summer. At least that's what I've heard.

Thanks guys. I've used realone on the PC. It's much nicer to look at but as far as functionality goes, it's about the same.

I wasn't careful enough when I installed it so now it's wants to handle every type of multimedia format out there.

Anyway, RealOne on OSX will help me. I suppose I can use classic until then.

seriously vanguard, it took real foeverrrrr to put out a mac version of the player to start with. and you might notice they give the mac platform all the attention that aol does (note mac vs pc updates). they are yet another thorn in our sides since so many pc platform folks think they just have to use rms for people to be able to see or hear their stuff. it's not that there aren't alternatives, it's that pc users refuse to care whether we seee it or not. (or don't realize is more like it)
i too wish they would port something soon. preferably before baseball season starts.

I'm far from an expert in media formats. But when I think of small size/low quality I think rm.

Nobody else seems to make really tiny files (albeit low quality). Maybe that's why my school choose it? (I like to watch the lectures on my machine.)

Would the experts care to correct me?
