Please help.....technical question

[Scott C]

Hope somebody can help........

I'm in the process of building a website to support the local community radio station that a few freinds and i work on, we have a weekly 2hr show dedicated to deep/funky house in Manchester, England.

The problem i have is that we want to be able to upload our show on the website so anyone can listen, similar to the mixes that you can listen to on this site. I suspect it's a really simple thing to do but i just can't seem to get it right.

I use dreamweaver to build the site, do i need to tell it to actually play the file, rather than just linking to the file from the page as i am doing at the moment?

Any help would be much cool

Keep up the good work DHP!!!

What you need to do is encode the file to real audio... and upload that with the appropriate pointer file to either play the audio file or allow for downloading...

Example:

You created a real audio file called "radio.rm"

Use a plain text editor like notepad and create a real audio "pointer file" called "radio.ram" (note the .ram extension) that contains :

http://yourwebsite.com/radio.rm

The link to play the file on your web page should be:

http://yourwebsite.com/radio.ram

The link to download the file is:

http://yourwebsite.com/radio.rm

Note the pointer file (.ram) is what tells the browser to open up the real audio player and immediately play the audio file it points to.
