Can somebody with far more computer saavy than I determine why the listed recordings will not work with Real Player for me? I keep getting a general error. If somebody could find a link or point me to these recordings in a different format, that'd be even better!

I'm not computer nut, but I do know that they don't work for me too. I've gone to the original website and tried it too, and they still don't work. So the files may be corrupted.

Maybe you might want to try contacting the webmaster?

PS: Interesting site :smalltongue:

I don't know what operating system you use but a program called xine seems to be able to open it. Xine has a mac osx version and a linux version.

I think the real problem is that you are using RealPlayer... ;)

What is the error? Just "crash"? or something else?

Sorry, but I don't have much experience with realplayer. there are lots of codecs out there that can emulate realplayer so you don't have to use their terrible software.

The problem is that .ra files aren't really...sound files. Or at least not popular formats. See if you can find a .ra to .mp3, .aac or .ogg converter.
