What's the point of having pre-recorded RealAudio tracks? Isn't RealAudio meant for live broadcast? If I want to hear pre-recorded stuff that I get from the web, why can't I just download a full-quality 44/16/stereo WAV file, maybe zip-compressed, and listen to that? That is, instead of listening to a crappy RealAudio file which not only sounds bad but breaks up in heavy net traffic? Does anyone know what the theory is behind it?

you're going to get a billion replies: the win for real audio is that it STREAMS. meaning you can hit "listen" and start hearing stuff *immediately*. yes, my original file sounds much better but it's 65 megabytes large and you would have to download the entire thing in order to hear it. WAV and AIFF do not stream. MPEG, on the other hand, sounds better than realaudio and CAN be streamed, but the company that makes the software (xing) is, while technologically adept, very bad at marketing... so they are going to die and realaudio will win by default. (wah) the new realaudio 3.0 protocols actually sound pretty good if you have enough network bandwidth to handle dual-ISDN stereo...

sure, you could listen to a .wav and spend half an hour downloading a 2mb file, or you can click on a .ra file and listen to it in less than a minute. sure you sacrifice some quality, but in today's day and age, people don't have the patience that you claim to have. also, most people use a 28.8 modem as opposed to an isdn or a cable modem, etc. you can spend your time downloading a .wav file for half an hour while i'll be happily listening to real audio and on my way to other sites while you're still in limbo. ;>

1x Autechre radio show 59mins at 16bit44kHz = 610mb 1x Autechre radio show 59mins at RA3.0(Full)28.k = 6mb Realaudio 3, even at 28.8 sounds better than your average bootleg. Very scary. g. g.

Please tell us that there'll be some way to get a .ram file for offline listening... something tells me that there's a bit too much traffic between here and the UK for a Realaudio stream to make it in one piece. Pretty please? By the way, I haven't been able to get into the Warp site for a couple of days -- goes to a "Document not found" page after the opening screen.

All the .ram file contains is another url to get the real file from. this is because it is a 'helper app', and there is no way to stream data as it is downloading between netscape/helper app. On Thu, 20 February 1997, at 16:03:30, Eric Moon wrote:

You can use it for both.

The theory is that 44/16/stereo WAV files are very large, and downloading them takes a long time. If you have an entire song, the file may very well take you 10 minutes or more to download. On the other hand, if you have RealAudio, you don't have to wait for the download, and you don't have to have that much space allocated for the music while you listen. And when you hit the URL, it starts right away, so there's no waiting. Also, if I want to give people an opportunity to listen to my CD over the Web, I don't want them dowloading 44/16/stereo WAV files, because then they could press them onto recordable CDs and they'd have no reason to buy the original. With the lesser quality of RealAudio, you *still* get a very good feel for what the music sounds like and whether you'd want to buy it, but you'd still have to front the money to get the best-quality version of it. This is the theory, anyways. I am completely ambivalent on the subject. -- Adam J Weitzman "Getting [your computer] to work is no more Individual, Inc. difficult than building a nuclear reactor weitzman@individual.com from wristwatch parts using only your teeth." http://www.individual.com - Dave Barry

No. RealAudio was originally designed as a way to deliver acceptable-quality audio content over the web in real time, but nothing about the encoding scheme requires that anything (either the encoding or the delivery) happen in real time. Offering fully-encoded files for download and offline listening gives people more flexibility in when and where they can listen to things.

If you can find someone to throw the storage space and the pipeline at it, and you're willing to spend the download time, nothing's preventing you. But 44.1kHz/16-bit/stereo WAV files will run you about 175k/second to ReadAudio's 3.6k/second, which is why a lot of folks prefer to put things online in RealAudio format.

If you download the RealAudio files before listening to them and play them locally, you don't have to worry about net traffic. -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo) ::: Internet Music Wantlists: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo/Wantlists

BTW, I've been working on some mono 30 secondish real audio files for the squarepusher page. Since my server doesn't allow scripting, what will happen is you'll cache the file locally and realaudio will launch the plug-in and play it automatically. I've done some tests and the files take around 30-45 seconds to download, which seems pretty reasonable. If someone has a realaudio server they'd like to donate that would be nice :) I'm also trying to secure some additonal hard drive server space since putting audio files would eat up alot of space and I already have 4 pages going, so if anyone has any megs laying dormant let me know as well. The soundclips, in some form or another should be up sometime next month on the squarepusher page, and I might do the same for cylob & spymania. Oh, and I had another idea but I don't know if anyone would be up for this. I was thinking of making a little page where people could have a listen to really hard to find records, which I'd change every few weeks or so. For example, one week I'd put realaudio clips from the two tracks on AB2 that aren't on anything else, oh, clips of the black dog peel sessions, London is a County, whatever, you know, just hard to find stuff.

I have around 10 megs of space, could free up about 8 or 9 more if I really wanted to and have access to my providers realaudio server... I'd be more than happy to play home to some clips... And while on the subject, if someone happens to figure out a way to snag the Ae int, I'd be more than happy to house it for a few extra days (or forever, or for a while...) so we could all get a decent listen (or, as its starting to look in my case, any listen... damn server is always busy...)

Plug-ins are different from helper apps. Plug-ins are dynamically loadable libraries that contain the code to do content specific work for netscape, inside of netscape. Helper applications are programs (also to do content handling) but they are separate programs run by netscape, not integrated into netscape. Both require the content to be fully downloaded. Example: RealAudio the helper app. It handles .ram (RealAudio metafile) files, which does not contain the audio, but only points to the real audio file on the net. It then starts downloading and playing it. I'm not sure if there is a plug-in version of realaudio. --brett On Thu, 20 February 1997, at 16:15:33, fresh@linkonline.net wrote:

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

I don't know about your browser, but Netscape 3.01 doesn't grok "pnm:" variety URL's, last time I checked. (The RealAudio Player does.)

While we're on this whole RA thread, I was wondering: What's the deal with the Autechre RA thing? I'm currently listening/taping it, and I don't know if it's a live performance of their material or a DJ set...I'm guessing it's a DJ set, since it was listed at "AE radio show", but any confirmation either way? Did I miss something? Thanks, Bill / dj marathon -- f u t u r e listening radio show - hosted by dj marathon t h u r s d a y 10pm-1am e l e c t r o n i c a * w i t h * s o u l w m t u 91.9 fm

Even simpler hold down the shift key and click on the audio track. That'll bring up the save menu and thats it.

unreleased tracks (sort of along the lines of the vibert tracks @ raft) or anything like that... greatly appreciate it, especially in regards to live sets or unreleased stuff... Check out the new issue of Urban Sounds (www.urbansounds.com), for not just Realaudio clips of reviewed releases, but 5 full-length tracks by Tetsu Inoue, Atom Heart, Robert Henke, John Bischoff, and Kim Cascone. Not to be missed. phil ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
