Danger Will Robinson, Real knows what music you listen to! If you've ever used Real Jukebox, check out this article. Apparently, the client uploads your listening and recording choices along with your IDENTITY to RealNetwork's servers. Real knows every CD you've encoded and every file you've played. RealNetworks = Big Brother.

Yeah, OK, this hasn't changed. I recently downloaded the RealOne Player. Big mistake. It keeps interrupting my applications to complain that some other program has taken over file types that should be associated with it. It did this while I was in the middle of playing a DVD. It's kind of frightening.
