RealJukebox Update RealJukebox Update

RealNetworks has released a software update to RealJukebox that prevents the transmission of certain user information to RealNetworks during the Get Music service update and also disables the RealJukebox ID. These settings had been sent to RealNetworks to provide us with aggregate statistical data that we use to improve our products. However, to address any potential customer concern, RealNetworks has released an update to address this issue.

The update is now available. If you already have RealJukebox Final Release, click here. If you have Beta 2, please select "Check for Update" from the RealJukebox Help menu.

This RealJukebox update causes the following changes to the product:

  1. The RealJukebox globally unique identifier (GUID) is now disabled, and is set to zeros for all users. As a result, GUIDs cannot be associated with any personal registration information (such as name and e-mail) that you may have given RealNetworks.

    Since the RealJukebox GUID is disabled and set to zeros, it no longer contains any reference to the network card MAC address of the user's computer.

  2. The following information will no longer be sent during the Get Music service update:
    - Encoding options
    - Portable devices
    - Total song tracks in music database (recorded and downloaded)
    - Total recorded song tracks in music database (recorded only)
    - User option to receive automatic music downloads (set to blank)
    - Genre preference (never used)

  3. A unique RealJukebox ID will no longer be sent during requests for CD information.
