RealJukebox Woes Have MP3 Users Singing the Blues
By Bradley F. Shimmin, BugNet

Learn how to make your portable player and RealNetwork's music manager sing in harmony.

December 14, 1999

Most MP3 Players like the Diamond Rio PMP 300 come with the software you need to play MP3 music. But these tools are often rudimentary at best, providing few options for managing the ever-growing collection of downloaded and recorded music lying around your hard drive.

With RealNetworks RealJukebox, on the other hand, you can do much more than form a mere conduit between your MP3 player and PC. You can gather, record, and manage a vast number of MP3s with ease. You can even convert and store disparate sound formats such as Liquid Audio, WAV, and midi for use on your MP3 player.

Unfortunately, a few hard-to-reach bugs lurking between RealJukebox software, Windows, and parallel port drivers has made RealJukebox less than reliable in reading and transferring music from and to your portable MP3 player.

With a little help from RealNetworks and some fiddling of our own, we've put together the following troubleshooter to will help you work around any unsavory communication issues between your MP3 player and RealJukebox.
