I can hear Irina's song just fine, Boudewijn.  As I did before.  Great!

.rm?  Was that .rm?  Hmmmm.  I didn't think I could hear .rm.  At least
not the .rm files I uploaded to my own page and tried to listen to.

Ironically, while I could hear these quite well a few days ago, now
I get the dreaded message that always makes me shudder: "you have begun
to download a file with audio/x-pn-realvideo.  Click on "more info" to
learn how to adjust your Netscape capabilities."  I always
hit cancel.  If you are using a consistent format, why can I still hear
Irina's Hanleni Halsen but not your spoken Denden anymore?  You must
have
used a different format.  Whatever it is, my system is not set up for
any kind of "video," not nowhere, not nohow.  I guess that's also why
I can't read .rm files.  Apparently, my system can hear .wav files and
.ra files, but not certain types of .ra/.rm files that have "video"
elements in them.

Time to upgrade to RealPlayer Plus G2, I guess.  I also can't hear your
mp3 files.  It will download it, and just as it's about to play, it
gives
me an error message.

Haven't checked this yet.   Will do.
