One of the dinosaurs of media playback, RealPlayer
has been on the scene since 1995. Sometimes it
feels like it hasn't been updated since then,
no
matter what the version number says. Still,
RealPlayer 11 beta introduces a major new function
and takes care of some frustrating bugs, making it
respectable once again.
The player runs smoother than ever, which to some
might not be saying much, but if you haven't used
it in years, the differences are dramatic. Now the
free version of the player has the ability to
download videos from the Internet, including
Flash-based videos like those on YouTube. Once
installed, mousing over an embedded video will
provide a pop-up that not only lets you download
the vid, but also change its name, the save-to
directory, and other options.
The update sees a major face-lift, as well,
removing much of the clutter from the downloadable
music store. Though not groundbreaking, the
RealPlayer music store gets a thumbs up for being
easy to use and offering a flexible DRM policy.
The new jukebox features let you make playlists,
rip CDs, burn custom mixes, and listen to hundreds
of online radio stations. The program still
suffers from an intrusive installation, but
file-type hijacking and upgrade harassment are
mostly gone.
The positive steps begun with Version 10 continue,
and users of earlier versions should upgrade.
