To set-up Real Audio on your own web site, begin by uploading your real audio track or sound clip (mytrack.rm). Upload the file in binary using an FTP client to any directory above 'html'.  Once this has been uploaded to your web site you will need to create a second file with the .ram extension (mytrack.ram). Within this file you must place the full URL of your sound clip (mytrack.rm) followed by a blank line. Upload this file into the same directory as your .rm file. You can create the .ram file using any text editor.

Your mytrack.ram file should look similar to that below:

http://www.mynewsite.com/mytrack.rm
<<-- BLANK LINE -->>

You may now access this file (mytrack.ram) by creating a link from your website. Here is an example of the html to reference the audio.

You have now completed all the steps, necessary to start streaming audio from your site.
