I think you need to convert it to a streaming-only format, like the

Actually, I do have RealAudio Encoder 3.1, which I have used to set up
streaming audio for all past sound files at my website. Unfortunately,
it can't encode MP3s, so I guess I gotta upgrade, huh?
What file formats *can* it encode? Likely you don't actually need to
purchase the upgrade -- all you need is to download Audacity, which
can open an MP3 file and then allow you save it in a number of
formats that RealAudio Encoder is likely to be able to read.
But you are still not really preventing anyone from capturing the
audio output -- you're just making it slightly harder.
Well first of all, slightly harder is good. A determined burglar can
always get past the lock on my front door, but that does not mean I
should not put a lock on it.
Now, as to what RealAudio Encoder 3.1 can handle: it sez AU, AIFF,
System 7 (!) "snd" resources, and Sound Design II files. For me, now, I
guess that means AIFF. The current descendant of RealAudio Encoder is
RealProducer Basic, which is free--but only comes in Windows and Linux
(!) versions.
I can probably get AIFF files straight from the composer in this
case--but tell me about Audacity anyway. Sounds useful.
BTW, I was surprised at how big the MP3 files were for the movements of
a piano trio--6 MB each, on the average. I thought the big advantage
of MP3 was its compactness.
