Yes, a design intent of RealPlayer is to obfuscate the process of saving audio streams to disk. There are two forms of Realplayer media sources: files and streams. You _can_ save the realplayer files (usually *.ram extension). Realplayer streams (*.ra) are slightly trickier. There are a few utilities which set up a proxy sound device and redirect (or split) output to a file. I've experimented with these but with little luck. Better to advocate open alternative streaming technologies. MP3 is one such. -- Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
