shroomy Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 Originally posted by eKiTeL use the advanced setup optionwhy I like RA: it sounds better than mp3 at the same bit rate, and you can stream files from a regular http server Not to hijack the thread..... butThe same is true for quick time and windows media and they don't mess up your pc and constanly bug you to update and buy them etc. Not to mention trying to associate themselves with every available media type as the default player. And yes the advance setup helps, but it still tries to periodically reassign them by prompting you any time you use it for a non assigned file extension.Plus it is a pain in the ass (impossible for many) to save the stream.Its too bad, it really used to be heads above any other player.And dont even get me started about how hard it is to download the free player, even when you tell it to get the free one, they try 3 or 4 more times to get you to pay for one and hide the link for the free one at the bottom.

djben Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 just wanted to say.real audio is HORRIBLEIt was ok BACK IN 1996 WHEN THERE WAS NO SHOUTCAST AND IT WAS JUST A MUSIC PLAYER INSTEAD OF AN ADVERTISEMENT INFESTED PIECE OF GARBAGE.Ever since then it has sucked. Total bloatware.Next think we'll see is "Real OS"... oh wait its called Realaudio when it tries to invade your PC.Btw, i am sure you could come up with a million more reasons why real audio sucks and streaming mp3's is superior by far. These are just a few =)Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmovement33 Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 i had a wonderful time @ the cooljunkie dj showcase @ virgin. there were 3 dj's who really impressed me. michael martin throwing his trademark break beats with a wicked vocal or 2 with some on point mixing. "listen to the two tracks my people". i also enjoyed the dj's in front and behind him. joseph anthony & diaga. joseph anthony sounded phat. his tracks were uplifting and on point. then outta nowhere this young kid diaga. he sounded really great. you can tell that he truely knows how to mix a record. built his set up nicely. all the dj's sounded fairly well. it's great to see that there is some great talent here in miami.let the heats begin!!!!!
