Real and Apple came to loggerheads shortly after RealPlayer 10.5 was introduced in beta last month because the new software includes a technology, called Harmony, that allows songs downloaded from Real's music store to play on Apple's iPod devices. Apple has not licensed to third-parties the technology which enables songs to play on the iPod.

While the dispute between the two companies continues to simmer, Real is claiming booming sales at its online store. The company said it has sold one million songs in the last week, although it did not reveal how many songs it sold from the online store on average before the sale.
