Does any one know if what you have to do to make real audio files stream and not download on win2k. I don't think you need real server just a mime type i think just not sure what it is.

try .ram instead of .rm - remember reading about it on wht sometime back

The mime types of realaudio files are audio/x-pn-realaudio and audio/x-realaudio according to my installation of mime.types.

The reason i ask is this user has .ra files and it makes them download the file.. I have the mime types added. Just kind of odd..

The site with the .ra files

To make a real audio file stream instead of download you do the following:

1) Create a file yoursong.ram and put the URL of the of the .ra in, so that the contents of you .ram file would look something like

http://www.youdomain.com/whatever/yoursong.ra

2) Then create a link to the .ram file. Something like

<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/whatever/yoursong.ram">Play Song</a>
