Are there car stereos which can play RealAudio files?

Do such exist? I haven’t been able to find any with a brief search, but there are a lot of false positives using these search terms.

I don’t think there is such a thing, although you can use Streambox Ripper to convert RealAudio to MP3.

Where’d you get that link? It doesn’t work for me.

Weird. The link worked when I checked it before posting. I could email a copy if you want.

(Mods, the program is freeware so there’s nothing untoward happening.)

Ok, this might be off topic for GQ, but why in the name of all that is holy would anybody want such a device? Even if the need ever came to play real audio files, it would probably be easier to convert them to mp3/wma. The format as itself offers no advantages, hence I doubt any manufacturers used it.
