WorldVillage The Web! Bald Guy's Multimedia Pick


Bald Guy's Pick

Written by Ron Enderland, the keeper of all things bald

Week of 7/2/00

Changes happen all the time in the dot com world. An example is this week's Bald Guy Pick.

I remembered how Xing (don't ask me how to pronounce it!) made a slick little player that decoded mpeg movies and mp3 videos. "So," I thought, "I'll look them up and see if they are Bald Guy-worthy."

Well, I discover on their home page that they are now the property of Real.com. Hey, that's not so bad. Real, despite the flap over RealJukebox sending out user info, is still a pretty good operation.

So, I'm going with my original instincts and selecting

Xing Technology Corporation

You can still download free software here. The trial version of AudioCatalyst 2.1 is available. In addition, you can purchase top-notch mpeg video converters and players.

Consider this week's Pick to be a tribute to an innovative company that just came a little bit late.
