> But is it just me, but does anyone else here find most RealAudio >unlistenable due to the crappy sound quality? dunno... if you've got half decent speakers on yr kit (what, no external speakers? come on...) it doesn't sound half bad (the JBL's we've got here sound superb for only $150... kicker and all...). 95% of us still have dial-up connections for 'leisure' use of the internet... No streaming 44.1K/16-bit AIFF/WAV just yet. New realudio specs (5.0) are getting there as far as reasonable facsimile of 'actual' quality goes. For a demonstration; http://www.tiac.net/users/sheket/audio.html . There's also the problem of server space (how many of you have more than 10 megs of web space?) We've fit around 435 minutes of audio into the same space only 50 minutes of MP3 would take up (or 5 minutes of stereo CD-quality). Quantity over quality I 'spose... -Våt. ----------------------------------- Reckankreuzungs Klankewerkzeuge Limited PO BOX 382864 Cambridge, MA 02238-2864 USA is on line @ http://www.tiac.net/users/sheket ------------------------------------------------
