Why are you guys still using Real Audio instead of MP3?

Splendid: Miscellaneous Stuff We Couldn't Fit Elsewhere: FAQ
RealAudio streaming is simpler and is accessible to a wider group of users -- people with 'net access through their office, for instance, who might not be allowed to download stuff but can access streaming content. Also, while Real Audio's quality has improved dramatically, it's still not a replacement for buying the original. MP3, for many users, eliminates the need to buy the disc. The point of our recommending a disc is that we we think you should buy it.

Are you guys for real?

alt.horror.werewolves Frequently Asked Questions
Many of us like to role-play. We enjoy D&D, or Whitewolf's Werewolf: The Apocalypse, or live role-playing games. But we do not role-play on AHWW... we reserve that for groups where it's expected and condoned; like on a good MUD or FurryMUCK. We may talk about arcade or RP games that deal with shapeshifters, but we don't bog the group down with the minutia of rules and such: that's best left to groups like alt.games.whitewolf and the like.

Why don't you have Real Audio or MPEG Layer-3 (mp3) samples of (this or that) artist's music?

Miss Funkyflyy's FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
I would really like to have sound clips of every artist I feature on these pages too, but the problem is that it isn't legal (and even if the risk of getting caught is slim, I don't want risk getting in trouble). For the sound clips you'll find here, I have full permission from the original artist/writer, who also holds all the rights to the song.

What are MP3 and Real Audio?

Jesus People Shop - Sound Questions?
It's a way of squeezing digital audio (such as CD tracks) so they take up less room. MP3 is so effective, that you can compress the file to a tenth of its original size with almost no loss in quality. It's properly known as MPEG layer 3, but most often just called MP3. RealAudio is a proprietary format that is optimised for web connections. It is noticeably better than MP3 at high compression rates.

How do I make an audio CD from an MP3?

FAQ - CBSRMT Show of the Week - CBS Radio Mystery Theater - ...
Use the software that came with your burner. Specify that the burn will be an "audio CD". Drag the mp3(s) to your layout. That's it. Note that you will get a maximum of 74 or 80 minutes of audio on each CD-R; this boils down to two 30-minute shows or one 60-minute show. Use 74min CD-R media for maximum playability. Some players have problems with CD-R, more with 80min media, and still more with CD-RW.

Why did you issue your recordings in the MP3 format instead of standard audio CDs?

JHAB > FAQs
Let me just start this section by saying: It is not a question of WHETHER you are going to buy an MP3 player, it's only a question of WHEN you buy an MP3 player. You are going to buy one sooner or later! But let me answer the question. This was a really difficult decision for me. Everybody has a CD player and since most cars have CD players too, I had many customers ask me to produce the recordings on CD.
