Streaming media charts, based on unique users
Streaming media charts, based on unique users: iTunes to pass RealPlayer by mid-2006 with just under 30M users, while still being second to Microsoft’s Windows Media Player with 80M users. Also:
- RealPlayer’s userbase has remained steady over the last three year with 28M unique users.
- Thanks to the built-in podcasting support “iTunes users tune in for an average of 111 minutes versus 46.4 minutes per RealPlayer user—2.4 times as long.”
This based on recent data from Nielsen NetRatings.
