Trying to play audio

[Michael]

I'm trying to play Real Audio files on my page. My web package is supposed
to have Real Audio/Real Video support but so far I haven't been able to get
my audio file to play from the web. It plays on my local machine which has
Real One player. My ISP says that they know nothing about programming web
pages and that all they do is enable the package.Here is a script that works
on my local machine. Is there something wrong with it. 'CC122103_1.ra' is
the audio file.

<A href="cc122103_1.ra">Play</A>

.
Is there a reason not to use media player add in instead

of Real Audio. The Media Player Addin for FRONTpage is
easily downloaded and can be accessed from your insert
menu. This way you can add both music and Video in a web
based player. You can also probably download the applet
from Real One to add to your web page and edit manually,
but why?

Do the clients have a Real Player Plug-In?

 

[Michael]

Probably not but I have a link where they can download a demo. What else can
I do?

 

[Michael]

Actually maybe I should start over. I want to present audio to my clients.
Could you describe the best way to do this without depending on the ISP for
audio services? Can I provide a player that the client can download without
charge? What audio format uses the less disk space? I appreciate any help
you can give.

You need client-side script to 'detect' the capabilities of the client
and then do something with the results or lack thereof....

Google: "detect"+"real audio"
