REAL AUDIO

If you have a fairly up-to-date web browser it is probable that you already have Real Audio installed on your system somewhere.

If so, you will be able to play Real Audio sound and video files on your computer. The quality of the sound files is not fantastic, compared with the likes of a wave file or an MP3, but it is acceptable - it's a little like comparing AM radio with hi-fi stereo, I guess.

To find out whether you do have Real Audio installed, CLICK HERE to hear THE MOODY BLUES from 1967, singing their hit song "Nights In White Satin". Please be patient - it will take a couple of minutes for the file to load. If you do not have Real Audio, an error message will show.

If you don't like the Moody Blues, perhaps you might prefer to hear THE AIR THAT I BREATHE by the Hollies, or FERRY CROSS THE MERSEY by Gerry & The Pacemakers. There are hundreds of thousands of other Real Audio songs out there on the internet for your listening pleasure, not just from the solid gold era, but from classical and country music right through to the latest chart-toppers. Get out there and help yourself - it's all free!

If you don't have Real Audio, you can download it from HERE. Once you have Real Audio installed, you will be able to listen to a selection of radio stations offering news, sports, music and comedy content.

Similar services are offered from WINDOWS MEDIA, which, if you don't already have it, can be DOWNLOADED HERE. More information on Web Radio (For Microsoft Internet Explorer) can be found in my Web Browsing tutorial. Clicking on the following link will allow you to listen to your horoscope for today from your computer, through Windows Media Player. The file will take a minute or two to load - you must have a soundcard installed, though.
