Re: RealAudio samples from LD

[Jeff Duke <jmar@bellsouth.net>]

Hey Tim,
Yeah I'd Like to use mp3s myself but the space required on my website is
prohibitive.
Question;not everybody has streaming samples on they're sites and we have
aus,wavs and now mp3s on the site, can they be made to stream?
Real Audio for all its problems seems the only bandwith possible solution
for now at least.Comments anybody?
