Yay! The weekend has arrived once again! This time around, I don't want to talk about what's going to happen over the weekend and blah blah blah...
BUT, I'd like to talk about a REAL long forgotten gift. A gift that was once given to us, some of us might have used it eons and eons ago, some might be completely new to it....
It's called the Real Player!
I still remember the days where Real Player was like the de facto player for all things streaming. They were the first few people in the world to have “audio streaming” – trust me, that was revolutionary about 8-10 years ago. Then they had “video streaming” – which we are all used to today. Almost every Internet crazed ‘dude’ / ‘dudette’ had a real player installed.
10 years later, the ‘Real’ brand is going strong – now, not so much focusing on streaming but focusing on being the COOLEST, most COMPLETE media player EVER!
This thing is AMAZING! It’s almost like one of my dogs – it eats everything you throw at it…
- Flash Videos, no problem!
- DivX Video files, no problem!
- DVD movies, no problem!
- Windows Media Player files, no problem!
- Strange video formats, no problem!
- Any audio file type, no problem!
- The list just goes on and on…
One feature I ABSOLUTELY love is the ability to DOWNLOAD FLASH VIDEO files on websites – whether you are watching a YouTube Video or videos from MetaCafe, Yahoo Video – just ‘mouse over’ the video and immediately… you’ll see something like this…
The possibilities are ENDLESS! – can’t wait to finish watching a particular flash video, no problem, download it and keep it!
Then there’s the ability to record streaming video or audio. I was listening to Fly FM and guess what? I could pause, record, rewind – LIVE RADIO!
Got an mp3 player? iPod? This player hooks up literally anything and everything. Plug-it-in, Real Player recognizes the device instantly and you’re ready to transfer your movies and music!
Have I said that I love this player? Go grab Real Player v11, it’s FREE – www.real.com! :) Ahhh… some GREAT things in life ARE indeed free…
Have a super massive awesome weekend!
