RealNetworks to make announcement at New York event

RealNetworks will reveal enhancements to its digital music offerings at a New York event on 26 April, with speculation of a portable player feature for Rhapsody.

More digital news, and speculation has begun as to the nature of an announcement due to be made by RealNetworks later this month. The online distribution firm is inviting journalists and key industry players to an event at New York's Radio City

Music hall on 26 Apr where they promise to reveal "enhancements to their digital music offerings that will change the way people obtain and consume music".

It is unclear what those enhancements will be, though some reckon it may be an upgrade to the company's Rhapsody subscription service so that members can listen to the platform's catalogue on their portable music players (in the same vein as Napster's

'to-go' service).

The company's chief executive Rob Glaser will front the event later this month, with Good Charlotte booked to play.
