Kathy, I know of no way to play RAX files in Winamp. And, I'm not certain you can even play them with Real alternative.
The only reason I considered real alternative was that I was told I could use it to select a different output soundcard than the windows default card. Well, yes, you can select a different output card. But, I found, no matter which card I selected, the output still came through the default card, as if the selector weren't actually selecting anything. so, I said, "To Hell with Real alternative," and went back to the *real* Realplayer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathy Szinnyey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
