RealOne Player SuperPass for OS X
Real has introduced a new beta version of its RealOne Player that includes the SuperPass subscription for premium content. The "deal" is a 14-day free trial before the $9.95 monthly fee kicks in.
So far I am decidedly underwhelmed. It has crashed Explorer repeatedly and fails to launch several radio stations (man, I miss KPIG's free stream on iTunes). Plus, Real's web site is so confusing and poorly organized that it's impossible to figure out the difference between all of their various products and services. (This is complicated by the fact that, in some cases, they seem to have multiple names for the same thing!) If anyone can make any sense of what Real has to offer, please let me know.
I've already set an iCal reminder to cancel my subscription before Real's trial expires...

I agree; the player itself works fine. It's the subscription content that seems to be a mess. GoldPass, SuperPass, RadioPass, OnePass--what the hell is the difference between all of these?
It might be easier to find out if real.com's web site didn't keep crashing IE....
