Question streaming media

i always get this wrong .... RM files are the ones which play off your hard disc (like MP3s or WAVs) ... RAM files are the ones which play off an internet connection.

If you really meant that you wanted to stream music you can make up your own RAM files...e.g. you could make a file called MEDLEY.RAM simply containing the names of the source files and keep this on hard disc or upload it to your server if you want real streaming play.....

You need to have RealPlayer onboard to play this but as you can see you're not restricted to RM or RAM files.

You can do a similar thing with Flash (SWF files)
