Real Player Plus 7

Rating:
Summary: It's a little better than the free one but...
Review: I thought the free version of this was pretty cool and thought that by getting the full version, I'd get quite a bit more than what I got with the free version. Although I did get a graphic EQ for mp3's, this and all the other features were just fluff. Essentially, the functionality is exactly the same. It did come with a list of radio stations and "Take 5", a feature in which I've yet to find something interesting. Since it always does what it claims it will and never crashes (and it's Mac-friendly), it gets a high rating. However, since I paid $... or so for an mp3 equalizer with reverb and a list of radio stations, I feel rather taken. There's no real improvement over the quality of signal from the free version to the full version - and I'd still have to pay full price to upgrade to RPP8 - I say, stick with the freeware version....it's essentially the same.
