The first version of RealPlayer was introduced in April 1995 as RealAudio Player, one of the first media players capable of streaming media over the Internet.[2] Version 6 of RealPlayer was called RealPlayer G2; version 9 was called RealOne Player. Free "Basic" versions have been provided as well as paid "Plus" versions with additional features. On Windows, version 9 subsumed the features of the separate program RealJukebox.
You may need to download and install free RealPlayer software from RealNetworks. If RealPlayer was preinstalled with your browser softare or you have already installed a copy on your workstation, you may still need a newer version for your course. Try the test below to see if you need to install a new version of RealPlayer. Please note that RealPlayer will not work behind a firewall or proxy server.
There are four audio "enhancers" available for the latest version of RealPlayer. DFX, iQfx, Volume Logic and Sanyo 3D Surround. Lake PLS, created by Lake Technologies, works only with RealJukebox, and has limited use. There are some registry tweaks which allow Lake PLS to work with RealPlayer 10. Lake PLS is still available on the RealPlayer website.
March 20- Nokia, the leader in mobile communications, and RealNetworks Inc., the leader in Internet media delivery, today unveiled Mobile RealPlayer for the Nokia 9210 Communicator. Mobile RealPlayer, the wireless version of the world's most popular digital media player, is designed specifically for communicators and for Symbian's EPOC platform, the open operating platform for the new generation of communicators and smart phones.

Further investigation by Microsoft has found that installing the latest commercial version of RealNetworks' own RealPlayer will trigger the same bug in the RealPlayer G2 beta. On a machine with Netscape Navigator, RealPlayer 5.0 (their latest commercial player) will become the default player for the playback of all RealMedia content because of the G2 player's failure to correctly register with the Netscape Navigator registry tree.

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.
