| This player keeps hangin in there despite being owned by AOL for sometime now. One time king of web video, lost popularity when taken over by AOL, obviously. | ||
| I remember when these guys brought audio to the net for the first time. It was Real Audio Player beta version .8 or something. You could download and install it. Only one audio clip on the whole net though, best I can ‘member, it was a 30 second clip of “Outer Limits”. It was literally, music to our ears. We listened and dreamed of things to come. | ||
