Default RealOne Player and Amazon

Let's talk about the RealOne Player.....

I just went to Amazon, and listened to a music sample using the RealOne Player for OSX.

When the selection finished, the application told me that my beta will soon expire, and it offered me a 14-day trial of their new pay player.

Personally, I don't care one way or the other about Real, and I wouldn't consider paying for their player, but I DO like shopping for music at Amazon using One-Click.

Do I have any other options for playing Amazon's samples?

I found this in a footnote at Real.com:
"RISK-FREE TRIAL means no obligation to buy. If you cancel, the basic player is yours to keep!"

Just installed Real One Player Basic (free) on my machine, and it isn't trying to make me buy anything. I find RealONE to be faster and more responsive than QuickTime... I just hope the final version can play Mpeg-4 and QuickTime like the Windows version can so I can dump the other two players
