(Fwd) [IRR] Yahoo Broadcast[.com] dumping RealFnord for Window

["T. V. Raman" <ramantv@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

this has been coming for a while --there is a large amount
of content on the ayhoo site that is already only in wmp
format. But it's scary that they are willfully ditching
realaudio --though in some realaudio probably had it coming
to them.

The right thing for all streaming content providers might be
actually to ditch both wmp and ra and instead go to
streaming mp3 for which many players exist --what's more I
think there are no obstacles to implementing more players
for mp3 --as opposed to ra or wmp.
