Stations Streaming in RealAudio

2011-05-06 Thread Steve Pattison
Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed a relatively small number of stations are streming using RealAudio these days? Or perhaps it's just me who is noticing this. This could possibly be because RealAudio is a very proprietary format. I'd be interested in other people's thoughts on

Its happening now, there's a slow shift but as you say! no hurry as most players that can handle AAC or AAC+ can handle MP3. On 7/05/2011 2:23 PM, Christopher Chaltain wrote: I suspect you're right, but I wouldn't think it would happen any time soon. MP3 is so ubiquitous. You know you can run
