There are 2 versions. The gold version is the paid version with ripping and burning capabilities and listening to a number of streams which seem to require radio passes. The standard version is free and you can listen to a few streams gratis and play DVD's and a few other things. The free version seems to be more limited than it used to be. The paid version allows you to download songs at 79 cents each and you get 2 free songs per month. The paid version also has some 200 games--most of which are not likely very accessible to the vision-impaired. Both versions allow you to check what file types you wish to allow it to play. The free version does have a 14-day free trial period that includes all the features but you have to give a credit card number and if by the end of the 14 days you have not cancelled your subscription, you will automatically be billed. Once you have found a station it can be bookmarked--saved in favourites or in radio stations. Finally, i did find it quite accessible and was able to set it up myself though I will need some practice to become proficient and maybe a little sighted help would help in that process also. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Moti Azrad Musician & Piano-Tuner" <motia@xxxxxxx> To: "Jfw List" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 4:30 PM Subject: realplayer 10.5 Hi friends, Is Realplayer 10.5 version free or not free?
