OK, who's taking advantage of the RealNetworks 49 cent sale?
I'm guessing there are three main groups in DU-Land:

1). I-Tunes loyalists who object, on moral grounds, to RealNetworks in general

2). People who are buying 49 cent songs and $4.99 albums from RealNetworks and could give a rat's ass for Apple or their profit margin

3). The file sharing crowd who ain't buyin' no steenkin' songs from NOBODY

Then, of course, there's the group that still buys CDs and burns MP3s for personal use with Nero, MM Jukebox, Roxio, etc. etc. etc.

Let's hear your adventures in Digital Music Land.

1. RealNetworks can kiss my ass.
From my experience, they just suck, period.

2. And they're trying to suck-er in new customers with a "temporary" sale
...which I believe SOME people will bite on, and those same people will vanish the minute the prices go back up.

4. They got Led Zep?
iTunes doesn't have them

5. No, I just picked the first album cover that came to mind
No Led Zep on the RealNetworks store...just in Cadillac commercials.
