RealSystem Server
RealSystem Server is a client-server based system which allows web sites to serve compressed pre-recorded and live audio and video media to computers with a RealPlayer installed. The RealPlayer continuously decompresses the media streams and then plays them in real time, on demand. Unique flow control technology allows computer users with sound cards to listen to whole clips, or just sections, when they want, as often as they want.

RealNetworks offers a free 12 month license for the current version of RealServer. However, this is wholly dependent upon RealNetworks and is subject to change.
