I JUST CHECKED A FEW... AND ALOT OF THEM JUST OFFER A DOWNLOAD... CHECK THE rEAL-aUDIO SECTION HERE TO SEE HOW TO GET THEM TO STREAM & PLAY INSTEAD OF LOADING FIRST.....

FOR EXAMPLE... OVER AT GEORDYS DANCEHALL SITE.... THE LINK IS TO THIS:

http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/5003/metafile.ra

this causes the ra player to load up the whole file first... before playing... ok...

if you create a file in an editor called "METAFILE.RAM".......put it in the same DIR as the metafile.RA file...

make the metafile.ram file script line look like this... this content ONLY... it should read:

http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/5003/metafile.ra

so it references the METAFILE.RA file

ok... finally... make the hyperlink read:
(without < > brackets as it wont show up here on this page)

a href="http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/5003/metafile.ram"

simple.... then it'll stream in realtime without having to load....

the A href , references the .RAM file when you click... the .RAM file references the .RA file...

simple huh !

Either I am stupid or Tripod is a piece of shit. Hmm, maybe both.

Anyway when I saved the text file(.ram), realaudio just comes up with 'error11, not a realaudio file'. Am I doing something wrong?

It doesnt seem to recognise the file as a text file, rather as something trying really hard to be a realaudio file.

Help!

that is because a .ram file is NOT a real audio file.. it is a file that POINTS to a real audio file..... but tells it to play in realtime...... read this thread & the RA section at this site again....
