Once you've installed RealAudio software, just click a RealAudio file link to automatically open RealPlayer and play an audio clip, streaming audio or streaming video. With RealPlayer, you don't need to download a music or video clip on a Web site to play it.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Go to the RealAudio Web site.

  2. Step 2

    Follow the instructions to install the free, basic version of RealPlayer.

  3. Step 3

    See the Related eHow "How to Find RealAudio Web Sites" to find sites with music excerpts, radio station broadcasts, Internet-only radio station broadcasts, and live Internet broadcasts.

  4. Step 4

    Click on a link with the name of a song or streaming audio feed. RealPlayer can also play streaming video files.

  5. Step 5

    Make sure your computer speakers are powered and system volume is not muted.

  6. Step 6

    Set the volume by adjusting the fader in the RealAudio window and the volume control for your speakers.

Tips & Warnings
  • There's a "deluxe" version of RealPlayer that you have to pay for; there's also a free one. You might have to look around a little on the Real home page to find the free version (it might be called "basic"), but it's there.
  • To play a downloaded RealAudio file, just double-click on it.
  • After you install RealPlayer, double-click on the Real icon in your Windows 98 taskbar to access Internet radio stations and broadcasts without opening your Web browser.
  • Your computer must have a sound card or chip and speakers to play RealAudio files. If you don't have a sound card, you'll get a warning message when you try to install RealPlayer.
