I can hear Irina's song just fine, Boudewijn. As I did before. Great!

.rm? Was that .rm? Hmmmm. I didn't think I could hear .rm. At least not the .rm files I uploaded to my own page and tried to listen to. (The mp3 still sounds

Ironically, while I could hear these quite well a few days ago, now I get the dreaded message that always makes me shudder: "you have begun to download a file with audio/x-pn-realvideo. Click on "more info" to learn how to adjust your Netscape capabilities." I always hit cancel. If you are using a consistent format, why can I still hear Irina's Hanleni Halsen but not your spoken Denden anymore? You must have used a different format. Whatever it is, my system is not set up for any kind of "video," not nowhere, not nohow. I guess that's also why I can't read .rm files. Apparently, my system can hear .wav files and .ra files, but not certain types of .ra/.rm files that have "video" elements in them. Time to upgrade to RealPlayer Plus G2, I guess. I also can't hear your mp3 files. It will download it, and just as it's about to play, it gives me an error message.
