RealAudio

Using RealAudio with HTML

You need to download ReaPlayer to try out streaming sound. To create the compressed sound files you need RealProducer (available free from http://www.real.com/products/)

In this example a stub or meta file is set up on the web server using the suffix ram, as in mytune.ram. That file is simply a text file that contains only the line that describes the URL of your sound file eg:

http://www.server.address/subdirectory/mytune.ra

The meta file gets passed to your RealPlayer which then connects to the compressed sound file and begins the streaming process

Your link to the sound then becomes:

<a href="mytune.ram">My Tune</a>

RealProducer will not only compress the sound form a CD or other source but also build a web page for you to server the sound from
