Portable Devices

Harmony Technology
RealPlayer is the first free software that is implementing Real Networks' Harmony technology. It helps  RealPlayer to be compatible with hundreds of devices across several platforms, including the proprietary iPod. With Harmony, you can finally free yourself from Apple's not-so-stable iTunes. RealPlayer will even give you an option to become your default iPod software (if you select this option, you are free to make iTunes as default if you prefer to do so again).

Setting up an iPod or a Portable Device
About 75% of portable MP3 players are iPods, here we are going to show you how to add the device to Real Player and what else you can do with it. First you have to make sure that you are having the  RealPlayer with Harmony Technology. You can do that by going to Tools > Check For Updates. It will clear whether you are having  the latest version of RP ,if not it will offer the upgraded version if available (Note: We recommend that you opt-out of any free add-on services that might be offered to you during the upgrade process, including the Weather Toolbar).  If you already have Harmony or once you complete the update, go to Tools > Add a New Device where you can add iPod by clicking Install Device.

You can confirm that iPod is enabled by going to the Tools > Preferences > Devices
