Jeff, I think my article that Trevor linked is all still accurate. What is a bit of a problem is that it’s incomplete as to storage issues. No, you should not install both FLAC and WMA, but you have no choice!

Yes, I’ve requested a utility to sort this out.

If your computer has loads of space, all you want is all WAV. If your space is limited and you aren’t using the computer as a production machine (think laptop to compose while traveling), you want all FLAC. The problem is, for older version, you frequently have all three versions of the same RealTrack installed and cannot do anything about that.

I would like something similar to Help, What Add-ons Do I Have. It would say something like:
77% of your Real Tracks are WAV and WMA.
11% of your RealTracks are WMA only
3% of your RealTracks are FLAC and WMA.
1% of your RealTracks are FLAC only.
8% of your RealTracks are WAV, FLAC, and WMA.

And then it would let you do something about that, including deleting all WMA when either WAV or FLAC existed, etc. AND letting you buy what you are missing in the file format you prefer.
