No, that won't work, because the link you see points to a .ram file, or RealAudio Module, which is a miniscule text file that is downloaded all at once and passed on to the RealAudio Player. This text file can be opened in any text editor/viewer to reveal a URL pointing to a .ra file. This is the file which contains the audio data. You can copy this URL into your browser's address field to download the whole file all at once and then play it from ye hard drive. Ed
