NPR Drops QuickTime Support

Posted by pudge on from the just-send-raw-pcm-data dept.

Magnetic Confinement writes "NPR has decided to drop QuickTime from its available streams. Their help desk response is: 'NPR.org had been offering some of its audio in the Apple QuickTime format under an arrangement with Apple QuickTime. We regret that we were unable to reach mutually acceptable terms for a new arrangement with Apple QuickTime. As a result, NPR is unable to continue offering its content in this format."

    Quicktime costs money. And apperently Apple wanted to change NPR too much.

    Do you /really/ want thousands of your donated dollars to be spent on codec licensing fees, rather than show production?

    And you CAN still listen. Real is available on every platform Quicktime is, and many more. Quit whining and take a dose of reality.
