Step-by-Step: Open RealOne Music Topic Page
RealOne Music can be found in the RealOne
MusicPass topic page but it is also available in the RealOne Player search
functions (My Library Search and Search For), as well as in references
within the Album Info display (Discography
and Related Artists). RealOne Music clips are identified in these lists
with the icon.
After browsing for music by genre or artist in the RealOne MusicPass topic page, or after searching for music by keyword in the Search page, the matching titles are displayed. You can choose to play (stream) or download music from the list.
Select to play the music
clip immediately. The music file will not be downloaded to your computer.
Instead, a clip is added to your Now Playing list and the file is streamed
to your computer. Each time you play the clip it will cost one Streaming
Credit.
Select to download a RealOne
Music file. A RealOne Player Download Manager
will open and display the status of the download. Once the download is
complete, your RealOne Player will request the Content Rights for the
file so you can play it, and will subtract one Download Credit from your
monthly total.
Click to
open the Media Browser and Select
(Web) from the Task bar.
Click
(Home) to see your RealOne Music account status in
the upper right of the Home page if you are online and signed in.
Each RealOne Music clip consists of two parts. The first part is the file which is downloaded to your computer. The second is the Content Rights that you purchase for the clip. When you first download a RealOne Music file, you also pay for the rights to listen to it for 30 days. (The cost is one Download Credit.) After 30 days, you retain the media file on your computer, but you can not play it without renewing the Content Rights.
If you select the Keep Active option for a clip in the RealOne Music page of My Library, your Content Rights will be automatically renewed when necessary at the expense of one Download Credit.
If you have not selected the Keep Active option, you will be prompted to renew the clip each time you try to play the clip after the rights have expired.
The number of download and streaming credits you have each month will depend on your membership level.
