Sorry about that Bruce. Just a quick note on this topic. The posts got my curiosity up. I downloaded and installed the real audio player version 3.0 last night. Seemed to work well, except for my cheap sound card. Guess I'll upgrade today. Anyways, I noticed that a lot of the Internet only radio sites require the real audio player version 5.0. So, I travel back to the real audio home page, and try to get the 5.0 version. It appears that real audio has determined that for whatever reason, they are not supporting real audio above version 3.0 for UNIX systems. This is awfull. Of course, they offer the full complimentary ports for the windows NT/95/3.1 family of operating systems. I emailed them asking why, but have not heard back yet. Maybe all those interested in real audio should send them a message to try and inspire them into porting. After all the pro version of the program is only 29.00, and it seems like it contains some great bells and whistles. If there are any other equivelent Internet radio clients out there, I would love a quick email about them.
