Streaming Music Files - Helix Producer

[thomaslynn]

I'm trying to upload some music files so that listeners can visit my site (www.thesacredvoice.com) and hear music via streaming audio. I'm using RealPlayer Helix Producer to convert the files and upload them. Can anyone help with this? I'm having trouble uploading the files to Powweb.

Thanks!!

Tom

What type of files are they? I don't see why it won't upload?

when you link your realmedia file on a powweb or most other servers, you must link it to a .ram file.

what is a .ram file?

it's a wordpad file (text file) that has the link to your realmedia file such as: http://www.yoursite.com/file.rm (ignore this link)

then you change the text file extention from .txt to .ram.

then in the html code you have to link that like this:

<embed src="yourtextfile.ram"
width="150" height="50" type="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin" loop="</htpdiv" autostart="true" controls="all" border="0"></embed>

that should work. if not, try the search button here in the forums there are other threads that might help.
if all else fails, go to the realmedia site.
good luck.
