Nah. Mp3 files can be played by anything.
Granted, I could be wrong, I'm not familiar with Real Player's
creation abilities. I suppose it's possible that it could put
something in there that would make them playable only by realplayer,
but then they would have given it some RealPlayer specific extension.
Mp3 is pretty universal, and that would be pretty low class of Real
Player to call a file something it really wasn't.
