StreamBox Ripper was written to be compatable with previous versions of RealPlayer and worked up to RealPlayer 9 (RealOne Player}. The author StreamBox long ago stopped any development or support of this software because of lawsuits and settlements with Real. The new RealPlayer 10 has many changes that make it incompatable with StreamBox Ripper. By copying and renaming a few codecs some partial compatability can be restored. To have %100 compatability you need to use StreamBox Ripper with previous versions of RealPlayer 6,7,8,9.
RealPlayer 10 is configured to run the Message Center program automatically at system startup and RealPlayer shutdown. The Message Center has generated controversy because it features advertisements for bands, and for material that may be considered unacceptable for children, such as "Hottest Hollywood Sex Scenes," featured on January 27, 2007. Although there is an option to turn the messages off, RealPlayer 10 will automatically turn some message options back on. As a result, the Message Center will almost always pop up with new messages, in a somewhat adware like behavior. However, since version 10.5, it is possible to turn the Message Center off completely.
"RealNetworks is one of EMI's longtime partners in the legal music market, and we're happy to offer our artists' songs to consumers through the newest version of the RealPlayer," said John Rose, executive vice president, EMI Group. "The RealPlayer 10 Music Store will help us reach an even wider audience of consumers, delivering the music they care about in the pristine fidelity they demand -- legal music has never sounded so good."

RealNetworks announced today the launch of RealPlayer 10, which they say will play content in RealAudio, RealVideo, AAC, Windows Media, QuickTime MPEG-4 and MP3. This version is available for North America, Europe, and Japan; additional international versions will be launched later this summer.
RealPlayer 10 is a breakthrough product. Not only is it the greatest media player ever, RealPlayer 10 is one of those once-in-a-generation products that redefines its category. The re-designed music jukebox in RealPlayer 10 makes it easier than ever to organize, play, and transfer music to CDs and portable devices.
RealPlayer commands the system Wave volume control.[44][45] Up until and including version 10.5, if RealPlayer was muted, other Wave sound sources (system sounds, VOIP applications, screen readers, etc) would be muted. However this issue was fixed upon the release of version 11. Two commercial solutions exist for previous versions of the software:
