Jen,

I'm thinking of doing some very simple RealAudio hosting the way you just
described. I just have a simple question: do I need to upload both .rm and
.ram files or will it work normally if I just point the link to the .rm file
itself.

Could you explain the difference to me. If there is one?

TIA

Alonso
