Why isn't Real Audio Popular?

[alib_i]

@alib_i,Thanx for the info on the Tara Audio Plugin....
Am Waitin to download it and use it to rum rm files on Winamp.

anytime !!

Another streaming player I've Come across is the live365 Player
at www.live365.com Any ideas on thsi player? Will it be able to play
Free Music Stations? I've seen at RWW that it is a Paid S/w.

yeah .. i've used it earlier ..
works good ... but you are left with very few numbers of free stations to listen to
but still its worth a shot

Compatibility Issue is the reason i think
No one is hating Real
Every one is getting songs in MP3. And Using it.
Many dont have time or dont prefer to change to other format

If suddenly the game changes to Real, every one will be using it then

All CD, DVD players r able to play MP3.
Winamp made MP3 more popular

If Winamp provides support for Real, it will be a big boon for Real
Unless Real do something to support other players to be able to play
they cant reach every where.

Thats y some Sony formats did not become popular very much irrespective of the quality they have

TIILL NOW, MP3 RULEZ

Audio = Winamp
Video = WMP10

Winamp is sufficient for all my audio needs.

Btw ppl just was curious, I installed only the DivX codes not the player and I run DivX movies off it so is it illegal or legal.

Is there any s/w to convert mp3 fiiles to .rm? What I mean is, that would help to scale down the sizes of the music files. Is ther anything like that?

Hey all ,

The size of the real formated file is abt 800kb is only because it is of low quality ie mostly 800kb is 24 kbps where as the usual mp3 quality is 128 kbps. Thus a mp3 file with 24 kbps also , will be some where around 1 mb.

Thus u have to sacrifice the quality for lower file size...
