It’s a superior browser-based player for the Rhapsody music service. There is no Mac Rhapsody client and Rhapsody’s web player blows. I was running the Windows Rhapsody client under Parallels to get the music queueing feature that is missing from the web version but the client it hogs memory like no other program. It was monopolizing the CPU using 2GB of virtual memory. The Yotta player is all around a better experience not to mention the most responsive AJAX app I’ve ever seen. I have no idea how their search feature returns artist results so quickly. Anyways, we can’t figure out if this is some skunkworks project internal to Real to sidestep their typical advertiser-centric interface nonsense or if it is an independent entity, how they’ve been able to get such tight integration with the Rhapsody service to deliver Yotta- whoever it is, they’ve made something that’s way better.
