Problems?
If you are hearing any clicking or any other audio nasties during playback
with RealAudio, try this:
1. Click on 'Stop'
2. Click on 'View' pull down menu.
3. Click on 'Preferences'
4. Click on 'Advanced'
5. Click on 'Use 8-bit Only'

You may find even on the fastest PC's that you are going to have to muck about
in preferences. The above steps fixed a problem of clicking on my
friend's P200.

Cool Edit was the program I used to create the audio file. Its available
for various flavours of Windoze, it's only slightly crippled shareware.
It's available

Syntrillium's Cool Edit, a brilliant sample editor.
What can't hear no sound? Probably means you haven't downloaded RealAudio

RealAudio, a plugin to hear .ra files with Nutscrape, Injurenet Explorer,
and probably other browsers.
Forthcoming:
- More Goodies samples in Realaudio and MPeg formats.
- Goodies Win95 theme pack. It's getting there. click
here.
- An improved sound quality version of the Earthanasia sample.
- Mpeg video snippet from the LWT series. (Now
available).
I find it pretty cool with current technology that is now available to us
to do something like this, making it easy to fit half an hour of audio into a two
meg file. I hope this idea spurs on others to create similar projects.

Adams was born, and his music has not got any fresher.
