If the RealAudio clips give you an error, you just need to upgrade to the new version. It only takes a few minutes, and it's free! If you have an older version of the RealAudio player on your computer, definitely upgrade it. The new version sounds WAY better than the old one.
- Download RealPlayer 8 for Windows (5 megs)
- Download RealPlayer 8 for Mac (6 megs)
- Download RealPlayer 8 for Unix (8 megs)
Click above to download the program. Save it to your desktop. It will take a while, so go take a break.
When it's done downloading, double-click the "RealPlayer8" icon on your desktop, and it will ask you a few easy questions.
My best advice is to UNCHECK ALL THE LITTLE BOXES it will give you when setting up. RealAudio seems to want to take over your computer entirely if you leave those little boxes checked. You might want to use a fake email address, too.
When it's done installing, it will play you a little "Welcome to Real Audio!" movie.
That's it! You're all set for a couple years now.
ADVICE: though their ads beg you to upgrade to a paid version, the RealPlayer is FREE, and the free version does everything you need to do.
