Agree that there are still some BBC clips that are only Real, but more and more they are shifting to wmv (I think). I spoke to a friend who works in the Beeb, and he did tell me that the intention was to move towards a choice of formats.
I hate Real so much that I live without the clips!
Amazon.co.uk only has track samples in Real, BUT if you go to the .com site you get a choice of 2 other formats.
