RealNetworks [reported](http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssTechMediaTelecomNews/idUSN0729914620090507?pageNumber=2&virtualBrandChannel=0&ref=hypebot.com) wider than anticipated losses yesterday. Q1 revenues were down 5% for a net loss of $12.1 million or 10 cents per share compared with profits of 2 cents per share a year earlier. Analysts had expected losses of 6 cents a share.  
  
**MUSIC SUBSCRIPTIONS UP**

The co-owned music subscription service [Rhapsody Unlimited](http://learn.rhapsody.com/plans/unlimited?src=rcom%5Fbar&ref=hypebot.com) was a bright spot at 800,000 subscribers. That’s up 25K from the previous quarter and 200K year over year. Any subscriber number less than a million can seem unspectacular in the internet age. But when one considers that subscribers pay $12.99 monthly for the service, it becomes clear that Real was right to stay in the subscription game even as others like Yahoo! and Urge exited.
