Yeah, but Gene, there are a vcouple of online streaming situations I need
access to that work only with Real Player and nothing else. Or so the
owners of those sites claim, and offer you a download link. If I knew the
file type of their audio stream, maybe I could find out that they're lying
and being paid by Real Audio? I'm half kidding. but this is why I leave
Real Player on my computer.
