What is the difference between RealAudio and MP3 audio clips?
RealAudio clips “stream” (that is, they start playing immediately) even over slower modems, while MP3 clips are designed to sound better. If you have a 14.4, 28.8, or even 56k modem and you want to listen very quickly to a sample of a song, click on the RealAudio song samples. If you have a fast Internet connection (e.g., ISDN, T1 line, ADSL or cable modem), or if you just want to hear higher quality samples, choose the MP3 clips. How do I play RealAudio sound clips?
