If I record a brief rap regarding my views on gangs and women, can it be played during the commercial break in an upcoming broadcast?

Lose the cheesy music at the start.

Aside from that, it`s good.

Who says Poly doesn't have a sense of humor?

Oh,.........You mean this is real?!?

Never mind.

RealPlayer Error

Personally, I hate RealPlayer. I can never get it to work properly and it always gives me errors when I try to stream media.

ACSR is no exception. Whenever I click on the link I get the attached files error message. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix the problem.

My thanks in advance.

Good done Dan, but how do I save these to hard-drive, just like I did with audio newsletter, for being able to listen to it later, and 2x cheaper?

Tniem:

What version of the RealPlayer are you running? You need at least G2 (equivalent of a version "6") in order to listen to the streams -- if you have it, try upgrading to the latest version (version 8).

If you get/have that and the problem still persists, try bypassing Internet Explorer through the connection process by right-clicking on the link, select "Copy Shortcut" and then in RealPlayer go to 'Open URL' under the "File" menu and paste the URL in there and then click "OK".

If after all this you still can't get the file to stream, let me know.

Solver:

Thank you for your kind words, and to you too Paul (to the latter: what do you think of the interim music?) It's good to know that the broadcasts are being listened to.

If you would like to download the file for later listening, right-click on the broadcast link (.ram) you want and select "Save Target As". From here, open up the file in Notepad and you will see to which file (.rm) it points to. You should then be able to copy and paste this URL (save 'pnm://') into your browser's 'Open' command or preferred download agent -- if you experience problems in doing so for whatever reason, let me know.

Yeah, but your better than Gareth Edmundson, so dont worry

**Ari Rahikkala** · July 19, 2001, 01:12

I still think that the best thing I've ever heard from DanQ was the Civ1 intro

...

**tniem** · July 19, 2001, 02:06

DanQ,

I had RealPlayer 8, I don't know what was wrong. It still doesn't work for me to click through but by manually typing in the address I got it to work.

Haven't finished listening to this week's report, will let you know what I fully think when I do so. But so far I like it. Will be looking forward to it weekly.

**Provost Harrison** · July 19, 2001, 07:27

Heh, this could be cool. I will have a look when I get home as this damn computer doesn't have sound capability, although it has good bandwidth (uni networked)...

This file is most likely still on the server -- I will look at updating the Radio section's homepage to carry a "Misc". section and this clip would definitely be included.

I also have another feature that I'm planning for it that I hope to have posted in a couple of weeks... top secret though, stay tuned!

[ tniem: ]

Do you still have RealPlayer 8 (you said "had")? I would suspect that Internet Explorer does not know how to handle the .ram extension. Is it listed if you look at file type settings under Windows Explorer? Go to Explorer then choose 'View' --> 'Folder Options' --> 'File Types' (tab).

Let me close my latest post here by saying that I have enjoyed reading the comments in this thread, even those that weren't so serious, as it's nice to know that people are interested and/or are listening to the broadcast(s). Based on some of the discussions here I believe that adding an ACSR "FAQ" to the Radio section would be useful.

Please keep the comments coming, folks!
