Real at it again

Well Real re-launched their music network today. They are now offering free service which will invlude 25 music plays per month and unlimited use of 25 radio stations. For the unlimited music listening you will have to pay a subscription fee.

I have been trying out Napsters service recently and have run into times when some of the music is not playable. I am not sure if this is the norm but one album in my playlist always seems to have big problems. The pauses between the songs is a bit anoying. The monthly all you can eat plan seems nice but at times the long pauses have me cranking up my itunes or iPod and just playing things that I own.  I think the network connectivity is always going to be an issue with these services. I am on a pretty fast connection but still have problems with Napster from time to time. May have to give this new service a try when my Napster trail runs out.
