4.0 out of 5 stars
MP3 Work Horse,
By A Customer
This review is from: Real Jukebox Plus (CD-ROM)
I've been a user of Real Jukebox Plus since the 1.0 release. The 1.0 release was a decent piece of software, still a bit rough, but useful. With this new release, the Real Jukebox 2 Plus, Real has gotten things right and it is one useful piece of software. It might not be as fancy as some software out there, but it does everything I need it to do and it does it well. If you're using the free version of Real Jukebox there is one real reasons to upgrade to the Plus version and that is the VBR encoding. With the free version you can go to the Real site and get an upgrade to let you do encoding of MP3s to 320k, but the upgrade does not let you do VBR (Variable Bit Rate). The Plus version does and it does it well. If you haven't used either version here's what's good about the package: If you have a CD-RW drive you can select songs from out of your library and burn an audio CD for use in the car or what not (though you're limited to 2x burning with the free included Roxio plug-in, if you want to burn faster you have to pay Roxio $19.99 for the upgraded plug-in). Real Jukebox rips and encodes extremely fast (on my machine it does it as fast as my CD-RW drive can read the audio disk). There is a radio function that's nice. And the cross-referencing and sorting of your music library is great. I would recommend that you try the free version of Real Jukebox first, then if you like it and want to encoding your music with VBR (which does sound better at a lower cost of disk space) then upgrade and get the Plus version.

It's a cool mp3 player,
By trin20t@zoomtown.com (cincinnati,ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real Jukebox Plus (CD-ROM)
This is a cool jukebox as is musicmatch.Both are buggy in the plus versions although the free versions are much better.I love the free skins,visuals,and added freebies they give you.I've tried Winamp and it sucks!It doesn't record,have smoothe looking skins,or have a mp3 to cd feature built-in.Also it does distort the sound when you use the "fake amp" that's supposed to amplify the sound on pooer speakers.Realjukebox comes in a virtual entertainment center pakage,bundled with Realplayer 8.These can come in handy when you stream music and video!

Nice interface but too many problems,
By
This review is from: Real Jukebox Plus (CD-ROM)
Real Jukebox has a good look and some good functionality, but it has more than it's share of problems. As the other reviewer mentioned, it takes up a HUGE amount of memory. That means it is VERY unstable and crashes ALL THE TIME. It has a cool feature where it will get the album title and track info from the CD online database. But this feature is flawed and does not refresh properly. The visualization feature is very bad compared to the incredibly cool visualizations you can get with Winamp. The free version of Real Jukebox is SUPERIOR to the full version. It runs faster and has fewer problems. And I must disagree with the other reviewer. The tech support is terrible. As a matter of fact, Real, Inc. does not even provide it's own support, choosing rather to farm it out to a company called Talisma Corporation. Their idea of support is to email pages from the website. They don't read your emails or try to solve your problems. And, really, how could they. THEY didn't make the product. Long story short, DON'T BUY REALJUKEBOX. If you want to try it, download the free version. If you want a better player, download WINAMP.
