    You kids and your fancy MP3s. In my day we used Real Audio, uphill both ways.

        TBF RealAudio typically used a 200:1 compression ratio, which nothing can survive. Tiny files, at least.

          Well, yeah, but it was the player software itself that sucked so bad. It could’ve easily been less bloated but for years they added more and more bloat. Even an old slow computer shouldn’t be struggling hard just to open a damned audio player.
