Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Note 2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. The new guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, instead requiring an entity to recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. This guidance is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We do not currently expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance amending existing guidance for the accounting of credit losses on financial instruments. Under the new guidance, the valuation allowance for credit losses is expected to be incurred over the financial asset’s contractual term. We reviewed the new credit loss standard and determined that it applies to our accounts receivable, which are typically of short duration and for which we have not historically experienced significant credit losses. This guidance is effective for us in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with a cumulative effect of adoption recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. We are in the process of evaluating the effect that this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1 Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business. RealNetworks provides digital media software and services to consumers, mobile carriers, device manufacturers, system integrators, and other businesses. Consumers use our digital media products and services to store, organize, play, manage and enjoy their digital media content, either directly from us or through our distribution partners. As of January 18, 2019, we hold an 84% interest in the Napster music business, which offers a comprehensive set of digital music products and services designed to provide consumers with broad access to digital music. Inherent in our business are various risks and uncertainties, including a limited history of certain of our product and service offerings. RealNetworks' success will depend on the acceptance of our technology, products and services and the ability to generate related revenue and cash flow. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (10-Q or Report), RealNetworks, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is referred to as "RealNetworks," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our." "RealPlayer," "RMHD," "RealMedia," "GameHouse," "Kontxt," "SAFR" and other trademarks of ours appearing in this report are our property. Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in which it has a more than 50% voting interest. Noncontrolling interests primarily represent third-party ownership in the equity of Napster and are reflected separately in the Company's financial statements. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent period or for the year ending December 31, 2020. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Liquidity and Capital Resources. Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2020 was $19.0 million and our operating loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $5.1 million. We have evaluated our current liquidity position in light of our history of declining revenue and operating losses as well as our near-term expectations of net negative cash flows from operating activities. While we currently believe existing unrestricted cash balances along with current availability on our revolving line of credit will be sufficient to allow us to meet our obligations for the next 12 months, our assessment is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. Moreover, our operating forecast is partly dependent on factors that are outside of our control. Compounding these risks, uncertainties, and other factors are the potential effects of the recent coronavirus pandemic and related impacts on global commerce and financial markets. These conditions, when evaluated within the guidance of ASC 205-40, raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet our obligations over the 12 months from the date of this filing and, therefore, to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. We have active plans to mitigate these conditions. Specifically, we plan to reduce negative cash flow through operating expense reductions, as well as through the deferral of certain obligations where we believe that we have the legal basis to do so. In addition, we are evaluating various strategic opportunities, which may include selling certain businesses or product lines, soliciting external investment into certain of our businesses, or seeking other strategic partnerships. Our plans are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, which become significantly magnified when the effects of the current pandemic and related financial crisis are included in the assessment. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our plans can be effectively implemented and, therefore, that the conditions can be effectively mitigated. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the 10-K).

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Note 3 Revenue Recognition We generate all of our revenue through contracts with customers. Revenue is either recognized over time as the service is provided, or at a point in time when the product is transferred to the customer, depending on the contract type. Our performance obligations typically have an original duration of one year or less.

We record accounts receivable when the right to consideration becomes unconditional, except for the passage of time. For certain contracts, payment schedules may exceed one year; for those contracts we recognize a long-term receivable. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our balance of long-term accounts receivable was $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and is included in other long-term assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The increase in this balance from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020 is primarily due to a contract renewal in the first quarter of 2020. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we recorded no impairments to our contract assets. We record deferred revenue when cash payments are received in advance of our completion of the underlying performance obligation. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had a deferred revenue balance of $6.7 million, primarily due to deferred revenue associated with monthly subscriptions. Practical Expedients

Stock-Based Compensation	Note 4 Stock-Based Compensation Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) includes amounts related to stock options, restricted stock, and employee stock purchase plans and was as follows (in thousands): Quarter Ended 2020 2019 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 380 $ 1,384 The fair value of RealNetworks options granted determined using the Black-Scholes model used the following weighted-average assumptions: Quarter Ended 2020 2019 Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % Risk-free interest rate 0.90 % 2.51 % Expected life (years) 4.0 3.8 Volatility 45 % 41 % The total stock-based compensation amounts for 2020 and 2019 disclosed above are recorded in their respective line items within operating expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Included in the expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was stock compensation expense recorded in the first quarter of 2019 related to our 2018 incentive bonuses paid in fully vested restricted stock units, which were authorized and granted in the first quarter of 2019. Our 2019 incentive bonuses were paid fully in cash, reducing stock compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2020 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, $1.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock awards. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.8 years.

See Note 8 Notes Payable and Long-term debt for additional details. Accrued royalties, fulfillment and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities as of March 31, 2020 include the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration for the Napster acquisition, which was determined using a fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As discussed in Note 5 Acquisitions, this liability is adjusted quarterly to fair value through earnings. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we recorded the change in fair value of the contingent consideration of $0.3 million, as a decrease to the total liability on the consolidated balance sheet and as a reduction of general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis Certain of our assets and liabilities are measured at estimated fair value on a non-recurring basis, using Level 3 inputs. These instruments are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we did not record any impairments on those assets required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Accrued and Other Current Liabilities	Note 7 Accrued royalties, fulfillment and other current liabilities Accrued royalties, fulfillment and other current liabilities (in thousands): March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Royalties and other fulfillment costs $ 54,415 $ 55,750 Employee compensation, commissions and benefits 5,777 6,858 Sales, VAT and other taxes payable 2,319 2,547 Operating lease liabilities - current 4,788 4,805 Other 9,828 7,343 Total accrued royalties, fulfillment and other current liabilities $ 77,127 $ 77,303 Included in royalties and other fulfillment costs are Napster's accrued music royalties totaling $52.9 million and $54.2 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Napster’s agreements and arrangements with rights holders for the content used in its business are complex and the determination of royalty accruals involves significant judgments, assumptions, and estimates of the amounts to be paid. The variables involved in determining royalty accruals include unmatched royalty accruals, revenue to be recognized, the type of content used and the country it is used in, outstanding royalty audits, and identification of appropriate license holders, among other variables. In addition, some rights holders have allowed the use of their content while negotiations of the terms and conditions are ongoing. In certain jurisdictions, rights holders have several years to claim royalties for musical composition. While Napster bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results may differ materially from these estimates in the event of modified assumptions or conditions.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Debt	Note 8 Notes Payable and Long-term debt In August 2019, RealNetworks and Napster entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (Loan Agreement) with a third-party financial institution. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the bank extended a revolving line of credit not to exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate. Available advances on the revolving line of credit, which will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, are based on a borrowing base that comprises accounts receivable and direct to consumer deposits. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in the assets of RealNetworks and Napster. Advances bear interest at a rate equal to one-half of one percentage point (0.5%) above the greater of the prime rate or 5.5%, with monthly payments of interest only and principal due at the end of the two-year term. The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, including financial covenants, minimum EBITDA levels to be updated annually, and maintaining a minimum balance of $3.5 million unrestricted cash at the bank. As of March 31, 2020, RealNetworks had $3.9 million outstanding debt from the revolving line of credit, which was loaned to Napster bearing interest and fees commensurate with our costs. See Note 13 Related Party Transactions for additional details. We paid and capitalized $0.6 million of financing fees to enter into the revolving line of credit, and the financing fees will be amortized over the term of the debt. The current and non-current unamortized fees were $0.3 million and $0.1 million at March 31, 2020 and are included in Deferred costs, current and non-current on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In 2017, Napster entered into a Non-Recourse Purchase of Eligible Receivables Agreement (NRP Agreement) with an international bank (Purchaser) in which Napster will sell and assign on a continuing basis its eligible receivables to the Purchaser in return for 90% of the receivables upfront, up to a maximum amount of $15.0 million in advances. The interest rate is 2.25% above the 1-month-EURIBOR with a minimum 0.0% rate applying to the 1-month-EURIBOR rate. As of March 31, 2020, Napster had $4.8 million borrowings outstanding with an interest rate of 2.25%.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	Note 10 Income (Loss) Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to RealNetworks by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to RealNetworks by the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share amounts): Quarter Ended 2020 2019 Net income (loss) attributable to RealNetworks $ (4,642) $ 1,533 Weighted average common shares outstanding used to compute basic EPS 38,229 37,820 Dilutive effect of stock based awards — 92 Weighted average common shares outstanding used to compute diluted EPS 38,229 37,912 Basic EPS attributable to RealNetworks $ (0.12) $ 0.04 Diluted EPS attributable to RealNetworks $ (0.12) $ 0.04 During the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 7.9 million and 6.8 million shares of common stock, respectively, of potentially issuable shares from common stock awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because of their antidilutive effect. In February 2020, Mr. Glaser invested approximately $10.0 million in RealNetworks in exchange for the issuance to him of 8,064,516 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock on a one-to-one basis subject to the limitation described in Note 13 Related Party Transactions. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, these shares were also excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because of their antidilutive effect.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 11 Commitments and Contingencies We have been in the past and could become in the future subject to legal proceedings, governmental investigations, and claims in the ordinary course of business, including employment claims, contract-related claims, and claims of alleged infringement of third-party patents, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could force us to expend significant financial and managerial resources. In addition, given the broad distribution of some of our consumer products, any individual claim related to those products could give rise to liabilities that may be material to us. In the event of a determination adverse to us, we may incur substantial monetary liability, and/or be required to change our business practices. Either of these could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, Napster was notified of a putative consumer class action lawsuit relating to an alleged failure to pay so-called “mechanical royalties” on behalf of the plaintiffs and “other similarly-situated holders of mechanical rights in copyrighted musical works.” On April 7, 2017, the plaintiffs and Napster agreed to settlement terms during a mediation session. The long form Settlement Agreement was executed effective on January 16, 2019. The damages payable under the Settlement Agreement will be calculated on a claims-made basis. In May 2019, public notice was posted about the settlement informing purported class members that they could make claims or object to the settlement, and the claims period ended on December 31, 2019. The final calculation is not yet complete, but based on preliminary results, the claimed damages are not expected to be material. Valid claims are currently expected to be paid by Napster in the third quarter of 2020.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Note 12 Segment Information We manage our business and report revenue and operating income (loss) in four segments: (1) Consumer Media, which includes licensing of our codec technology and our PC-based RealPlayer products, including RealPlayer Plus and related products; (2) Mobile Services, which includes our SaaS services and our integrated RealTimes® platform which is sold to mobile carriers; (3) Games, which includes all our games-related businesses, including sales of in-game virtual goods, mobile games, games licenses, games subscription services, and in-game advertising and advertising on game sites; and (4) Napster, which includes on-demand music streaming and music services. RealNetworks allocates to its Consumer Media, Mobile Services and Games reportable segments certain corporate expenses which are directly attributable to supporting these businesses, including but not limited to a portion of finance, legal, human resources and headquarters facilities. Remaining expenses, which are not directly attributable to supporting these businesses, are reported as corporate items. These corporate items may also include restructuring charges and stock compensation charges. As stated in Note 5 Acquisitions, Napster operates as an independent company and, therefore, RealNetworks allocates no corporate expenses to the Napster segment. RealNetworks reports four reportable segments based on factors such as how we manage our operations and how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews results. The CODM reviews financial information presented on both a consolidated basis and on a business segment basis. The accounting policies used to derive segment results are the same as those described in Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the 10-K. Segment results for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): Consumer Media Quarter Ended 2020 2019 Revenue $ 3,495 $ 2,486 Cost of revenue 611 833 Gross profit 2,884 1,653 Operating expenses 2,458 3,119 Operating income (loss) $ 426 $ (1,466) Mobile Services Quarter Ended 2020 2019 Revenue $ 6,690 $ 6,939 Cost of revenue 1,696 2,048 Gross profit 4,994 4,891 Operating expenses 7,588 7,561 Operating income (loss) $ (2,594) $ (2,670) Games Quarter Ended 2020 2019 Revenue $ 6,637 $ 5,710 Cost of revenue 1,794 1,670 Gross profit 4,843 4,040 Operating expenses 4,923 5,037 Operating income (loss) $ (80) $ (997) Napster Quarter Ended 2020 2019 Revenue $ 26,323 $ 24,337 Cost of revenue 20,072 20,396 Gross profit 6,251 3,941 Operating expenses 6,461 5,532 Operating income (loss) $ (210) $ (1,591) Corporate Quarter Ended 2020 2019 Cost of revenue $ 3 $ (77) Operating expenses 2,627 4,257 Operating income (loss) $ (2,630) $ (4,180) Our customers consist primarily of consumers and corporations located in the U.S., Europe, and various foreign countries (Rest of the World).

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Note 13 Related Party Transactions As described in Note 5 Acquisitions, on January 18, 2019, RealNetworks acquired an additional 42% interest in Rhapsody International, Inc., (doing business as Napster), bringing our aggregate ownership interest to 84% of Napster's outstanding equity, thus giving RealNetworks a majority voting interest in Napster. Following this acquisition of a controlling interest, we consolidate Napster's financial results into our financial statements for fiscal periods beginning with our first quarter of 2019. Rhapsody America LLC was initially formed in 2007 as a joint venture between RealNetworks and MTV Networks, a division of Viacom International, Inc., to own and operate a business-to-consumer digital audio music service originally branded as Rhapsody. The service has been significantly expanded and was re-branded in 2016 as Napster. Following certain restructuring transactions effective March 31, 2010, we began accounting for the investment using the equity method of accounting. As part of the 2010 restructuring transactions, RealNetworks contributed $18.0 million in cash, the Rhapsody brand and certain other assets, including content licenses, in exchange for shares of convertible preferred stock of Rhapsody, carrying a $10.0 million preference upon certain liquidation events. Although we now consolidate Napster for reporting purposes, our convertible preferred stock and the related rights remain contractually binding instruments between RealNetworks and Napster. In December 2016, RealNetworks and the other then-owner of 42% of Napster each entered into an agreement to loan up to $5.0 million to Napster for general operating purposes, which loans were fully funded as of the end of January 2017 for an aggregate of $10.0 million. Included in RealNetworks' January 2019 acquisition of the additional 42% interest in Napster, RealNetworks assumed the seller's $5.0 million note, resulting in RealNetworks holding $10.0 million of notes receivable from Napster. The terms of the notes were modified subsequent to the original December 2016 execution, including a provision, effective July 2018, that requires repayment at the greater of (a) principal plus accrued interest at an annual rate of 15% or (b) a preference of three times the principal amount. In May 2019, RealNetworks extended a short-term loan to Napster in the principal amount of $1.1 million. In August 2019, RealNetworks established a two-year term on this short-term loan and, as discussed in Note 8 Notes Payable and Long-term debt, loaned Napster an additional $3.9 million and charged Napster for associated fees. As a result, the principal amount on this two-year note is $5.4 million. Both the two-year note and the $10.0 million loan are subordinate to RealNetworks' and Napster's third party debt. In each of February 2015 and February 2017, Napster issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock to each of RealNetworks and the other then-owner of 42% of Napster. The warrants have a 10-year contractual term and were issued as compensation for past services provided by these two significant stockholders of Napster. As part of RealNetworks' January 2019 acquisition of the additional 42% interest in Napster, RealNetworks assumed the warrants held by the seller. Upon RealNetworks' acquisition of a controlling interest in Napster, the notes and warrants were effectively settled and eliminated in our consolidated financial statements as they represent preexisting relationships between RealNetworks and Napster. However, the notes and warrants remain contractually binding instruments between RealNetworks and Napster. In 2019, Mr. Glaser directly invested $0.8 million in one of our subsidiaries in exchange for shares of preferred stock of that entity. The subsidiary is developing a platform that transforms the experience of viewing video entertainment into a social, connected playground. As of March 31, 2020, RealNetworks owned approximately 82% of the subsidiary's outstanding equity, and we consolidate its financial results into our financial statements. The financial results of the subsidiary are reported in our Consumer Media segment. In February 2020, we entered into a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Mr. Glaser, pursuant to which Mr. Glaser invested approximately $10.0 million in RealNetworks in exchange for the issuance to him of 8,064,516 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is non-voting and is convertible into common stock on a one-to-one basis, provided, however, that no conversion is permitted in the event that such conversion would cause Mr. Glaser’s beneficial ownership of our common stock to exceed the 38.5% threshold set forth in our Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan dated November 30, 2018. The Series B Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference and no preferred dividend.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	Note 14 Subsequent Events The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, signed into law in March 2020, established the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Through the PPP, loan amounts are forgiven to the extent proceeds are used to cover documented payroll, rent, and utility costs over an 8-week measurement period following loan funding. In April 2020, RealNetworks issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $2.9 million and in May 2020, Napster issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $1.7 million, both pursuant to the PPP. The notes have a maturity of 2 years, an interest rate of 1.0%, no pre-payment penalty, a six-month deferment period, and are eligible for forgiveness pursuant to program guidelines. We cannot provide assurance, however, that all or any portion of the principal and interest on these loans will be forgiven. On April 6, 2020, RealNetworks Asia Pacific Co., Ltd. received notice of a civil lawsuit filed by Korean Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) seeking damages of $2.6 million. Also named as a defendant in the lawsuit is Kakao M Corp (formerly known as LOEN Entertainment Corp.), one of the largest media publishing companies in Korea, which operates the Melon music platform. The claim is for a late payment penalty under a music licensing contract, pursuant to which, from 2004 to 2017, RealNetworks licensed music for its services to LOEN for its Melon platform. The current lawsuit relates solely to the late payment of music licensing fees under the contract; the underlying music licensing fees were paid by Kakao M to KOMCA in a separate settlement prior to KOMCA’s filing of this lawsuit. While we believe we have meritorious defenses to this lawsuit and intend to vigorously defend RealNetworks, litigation is inherently uncertain and we cannot predict the outcome of this matter. We have not recorded an accrual related to this settlement as of March 31, 2020 as it is early in the litigation and any potential liability cannot be reasonably estimated. On April 23, 2020, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Global Market (Nasdaq) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of RealNetworks’ common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between March 11, 2020 through April 23, 2020, we did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on Nasdaq. In April 2020, in response to the unprecedented turmoil in U.S. and world financial markets, Nasdaq tolled the compliance periods for its bid price and market value of publicly held shares requirements through June 30, 2020. As a result of Nasdaq's general grant of this grace period, we have a compliance period of 180 calendar days starting July 1, 2020 and ending December 28, 2020 in which to regain compliance. In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, the Company’s common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the compliance period. In the event RealNetworks does not regain compliance by the end of the compliance period, we may be eligible for a second compliance period pursuant to Nasdaq's existing rules. The letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the RealNetworks’ common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq during the general grace period and the 180-day compliance period. RealNetworks’ Board will consider the implementation of various measures intended to support compliance, including a reverse split of our common stock in an effort to increase the trading price of the RealNetworks’ shares.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business	Description of Business. RealNetworks provides digital media software and services to consumers, mobile carriers, device manufacturers, system integrators, and other businesses. Consumers use our digital media products and services to store, organize, play, manage and enjoy their digital media content, either directly from us or through our distribution partners. As of January 18, 2019, we hold an 84% interest in the Napster music business, which offers a comprehensive set of digital music products and services designed to provide consumers with broad access to digital music. Inherent in our business are various risks and uncertainties, including a limited history of certain of our product and service offerings. RealNetworks' success will depend on the acceptance of our technology, products and services and the ability to generate related revenue and cash flow.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segments	We manage our business and report revenue and operating income (loss) in four segments: (1) Consumer Media, which includes licensing of our codec technology and our PC-based RealPlayer products, including RealPlayer Plus and related products; (2) Mobile Services, which includes our SaaS services and our integrated RealTimes® platform which is sold to mobile carriers; (3) Games, which includes all our games-related businesses, including sales of in-game virtual goods, mobile games, games licenses, games subscription services, and in-game advertising and advertising on game sites; and (4) Napster, which includes on-demand music streaming and music services. RealNetworks allocates to its Consumer Media, Mobile Services and Games reportable segments certain corporate expenses which are directly attributable to supporting these businesses, including but not limited to a portion of finance, legal, human resources and headquarters facilities. Remaining expenses, which are not directly attributable to supporting these businesses, are reported as corporate items. These corporate items may also include restructuring charges and stock compensation charges. As stated in Note 5 Acquisitions, Napster operates as an independent company and, therefore, RealNetworks allocates no corporate expenses to the Napster segment. RealNetworks reports four reportable segments based on factors such as how we manage our operations and how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews results. The CODM reviews financial information presented on both a consolidated basis and on a business segment basis. The accounting policies used to derive segment results are the same as those described in Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the 10-K.
