Using Helix Player and RealPlayer 10
A tremendous amount of content is available on the Internet in the RealMedia and RealAudio formats.
You can see and hear video clips of popular musicians and comics; view live events such as
conferences, news stories, and concerts; and listen to your favorite radio stations when you are out
of town.
To play RealMedia and RealAudio content, you need, as you may have guessed, RealPlayer.
RealNetworks (www.real.com) is a leader in streaming media on the Internet. More than
50 million unique users have registered with RealNetworks and its Web site, downloading
more than 175,000 files per day. And that??™s not even the good news. The good news is that
RealPlayer is available to run in Linux.
RealPlayer 10 for Linux is available via the Linux area of www.download.com and www.tucows
.com and at www.real.com/linux/. This player is not supported by RealNetworks directly.
In addition, RealNetworks has opened up the source code to the RealPlayer under the name Helix
Player.
