I'm designing a band site and on it they want Real Audio files and Mp3's of a song and a clip of a song. I get the message "access to the specified device, path, or file is denied". I'm not too sure why I'm getting this message but I am sure I'm simply overlooking something. What is the proper way to link to files either for streaming and/or for downloading.
thanks

Not sure about MP3 files, but for real audios you will need to make a link to soundfile.ram which contains *only* the full url to the actual rm file. For example a file called soundfile.ram could contain one line of text which is http://www.server.com/file.rm. To make the RM file, you will need to download RealEncoder. To make the RAM file, you can just use notepad. Is this clear enough?
