>So there is all the less excuse for using junk formats!

I agree with that 100%. For me, that also includes getting rid of MiniDiscs.

However, if someone has the material to share, and is going to 
capture it in Real Audio format and then convert it to MP3 format to 
make it available, I'd MUCH rather have them simply capture to WAV 
and then make it available in MP3 format.  I'd much rather have a 
junk format that is not a conversion of another junk format.  The 
compounding of lossy compression formats by processing through other 
lossy compression formats will be a disaster.
