My main complaint is that RealAudio is a proprietary solution, and has
lower quality and compression than MPEG.  More tools are available for
handling MPEG audio (both free and proprietary), and the format is an
ISO standard used by audio/video professionals throughout the world.

I asked this the last time this topic arose, but got no reply, so I'll
ask again in the hope that someone can help me: can anyone tell me where
I can download the real audio player for OpenBSD 2.1?

Cheers,
