1MB/minute the sound quality must be pretty good.

# I would check it
But the bastard uni proxy cache firewall doesn't let real media through in any way shape or form.

# quite wise
in my humbug opinion. Real Media is a bit poo. And it cost me a support job at the BBC - one of the questions in the test was "What streaming media does the BBC site use?" And I thought "Nah, they wouldn't use something as utterly shite as Real...", but they do.

Cnuts.

# It seems
a bit weird but the Beeb's realaudio content gives me better results than their wmv stuff.
Why they can't use streamed mp3 is beyond me.

# It's probably beyond
the chap who might possibly have received a nice healthy bonus for deciding upon that format for the beeb website.
