Since RealNetworks is all for "compatibility" and getting their stuff to play on the iPod, when do they plan to offer support for Macintosh users in the Rhapsody music store?
iTunes doesn't support any drm'd files besides Apple's, so there's no incentive for Wal-Mart, Napster, Real, MS, or anyone else to sell to Mac users, since no Mac users are going to abandon iTunes. This is the market reality right now.
1. Why do you really have so little faith in your product? If you offered a superior player and service Mac users would switch. Your player already supports songs from iTunes Music Store so that would ease the transition.
2. Is it really impossible to make drm capable quicktime components? Because with Real component your songs would play in iTunes.
