Someone would have to look it up, but I doubt MP3 is better quality audio than Real Audio. MP3 has been around forever! I also don't think Real charged people to use their format, but it is a proprietary format, of course, so is MP3 and AAC. I suspect the real difference is just how ubiquitous MP3 is and AAC is becoming, with Apple products becoming so popular. I don't think Apple products will even play Real or WMA formats, so if you want to stream to a Apple device, and who wouldn't, then you'll have to use MP3 or AAC.
