Message:	: the following info is how my webhost tells me to post audio on my website, but I don't understand it. Please help me. : ------------------------------------------------------------------- : Subject : How do I setup real audio streaming? : DO NOT have Real Audio server software running on our servers. However, you can stream Real Media files by following these instructions: : You will need to create a .ram file that calls your real audio/video file. : Super "what is a .ram file?" : The .ram file is a text file with an absolute URL. : Super "what is an absolute URL?" : This URL will need to be: : http://yourdomain.com/filename.rm : Typically you'll create a RealAudio file subdirectory under domain-www, and put all your audio files there. : Then your .ram file, a.k.a., metafile, will contain an address with this format: : http://yourdomain.com/subdirectory/filename.rm : : The "subdirectory" is a subdirectory of your domain-www directory. : : So for example: http://yourdomain.com/musicfiles/music.rm : Notice: : Super "what is a metafile?" : The above address goes in the .ram/metafile, not in your HTML code. Your HTML code calls the .ram/metafile. Then the .ram/metafile is used to call up the .rm/realmedia file. So for example, your HTML code would look something like this: : : : : <a href="http://musicforyou.com/ra/music.ram">Click here to listen to music.</a> :
