For this you will need a RAM file which refers to your RealAudio file. The RAM file is set up in a text editor like this:

1. Open a text editor like Notepad (PC) or SimpleText (Mac) and choose File > New. Do not use your word processing software, WordPad.

2. Into the new text file type the URL to your RealAudio (or RealVideo file). For example: http://members.aol.com/screenname/realfile.ra. Replace "screenname" with your screenname (omit all spaces) and "realfile.ra" with the correct name of your RealAudio file.

3. Go to File > Save As and save the file as "realfile.ram", using the same filename as your RealAudio file. (Make certain you do not choose to save as a .txt file which is the default choice.)

4. Upload the text file and your RealAudio file to your website.

5. Open your webpage, place your cursor where you want to add the link and type the text you want to use as a link to your RealAudio file, for example "Click here to hear streaming sound".

6. Highlight the text and go to Element > Link.

7. Type the name of the text file - e. g. "realfile.ram" - into the Link to Page field.

Make sure that you type your uploaded RA filename in the place of the word 'realfile.ra' above.

  When visitors click on the link you've created, the sound will start to stream if the visitors have the RealAudio plug-in installed with their browser.
