You are right, and You are wrong. A lot of the Sites on this list are of MSNTV origin and have no options when it comes to Real Audio, but to link to major record companies. We use the term here "Direct Linking" as to say someone from www.majorsounds.com does place a song found from another music site for instance www.minorsounds.com. They must transload/upload said file directly to their own server. It's not right but its all They can do to be able to listen to RA sounds which We all LOVE. As for bandwidth, again You are right it can be expensive. I use a virtual server and have a very very sizable amount a bandwidth. Much Much More than a Geocities, Angelfire, Tripod, Hypernet, FreeServer and a bunch of others put together. Believe Me when I say this I am not rich, but if I wanted to run a real audio site with My own files I would have not one problem doing so except for the time consumption of doing so, and of course as You point out the direct linkers.
