Subject:: (idm) RealAudio vs MPEG layer 3 (including shameless plug)

Shameless plug follows: If you have nothing better to do, (I show a lot of confidence in myself, don't I?) point your web-browser to http://www.dtr.isy.liu.se/~mattias/music/music.html and listen to my tune Find the Lock. Computer game vs d'n'b a la A**** T***. Note: RealAudio should not be used for music. The quality even at 128 kbit/s is below par. Personally, I'd much rather use MPEG3, but I have a feeling that there are less people that can listen to an MP3.

i dunno, mp3 is on the rise... audioactive and shockwave audio both use streaming mp3 data. yeah, you need a pentium or powerpc, but that's not such a big restriction any more.

Actually, I dunno how many people on PC's may not be able to listen to MP3's, but I can say that probably in general, more people will be able to listen to an MP3 than a RealAudio, since Amiga users can decode MP3 and listen to it, but not RealAudio. I am not sure if there is a sufficient amount of Amiga owners to justify this statement, but you'd be surprised how many there are under your noses ;) -- __ __\ \ Aurafix aka Hillie / PHD ^ DAMONES (aka Rare Guy) / /_\ \ http://www.clark.net/pub/buh/index.html \_____/ >> buh@clark.net >> < > .. >> .<>> >> > , m7= inducing mindwaves.. electronic techno muuusik controlled manually by a p h e x t wi n .. .. . . .
