EMBEDDING A REALAUDIO FILE

You can embed a RealAudio file so that the .ra file will begin playing as soon as the html page loads. This way, the web visitor will not have to click on a link to hear your sound file.

Let's suppose that we want to play a record called "Kinky Boots". We can create a file in Real Media called "kinky.rm". I'm assuming that you can get this far.

Make a Real Audio file, e.g. kinky.rm

Upload this to your web directory.

Create a *.ram file as follows. In a text editor, type in your full web address for the kinky.rm file, e.g. http://www.sterlingtimes.org/kinky.rm. Now save this as a text file, kinky.ram.

Save the kinky.ram file to your web directory.

Now make a copy of your kinky.ram file and resave it as kinky.rpm. Upload it to the same directory as kinky.rm and kinky.ram.

Reference the new kinky.rpm within the page's html like this:

<EMBED SRC="kinky.rpm" WIDTH=250 HEIGHT=35 CONTROLS=ControlPanel AUTOSTART=TRUE>

More information for putting RealAudio files on your page is available at http://service.real.com/

Make the WIDTH and HEIGHT numbers smaller so that the control panel is not seen on the webpage, e.g.

<EMBED SRC="kinky.rpm" WIDTH=2 HEIGHT=2 CONTROLS=ControlPanel AUTOSTART=TRUE>

You can add the full URL to the HTML like this:

<EMBED SRC="http://www.sterlingtimes.org/kinky.rpm" WIDTH=250 HEIGHT=35 CONTROLS=ControlPanel AUTOSTART=TRUE>

This is the html code to embed video:

<EMBED SRC="http://www.sterlingtimes.org/flypast.rpm" WIDTH=150 HEIGHT=150 CONTROLS=ImageWindow CONSOLE=one AUTOSTART=TRUE>

Here is a link for Streambox VCR (with crack) used for getting at audio and video encoded Real audio files.

Similarly, here is a page for X-File Get that can perform a similar function:
