Help With RealAudio


What is RealAudio?

RealAudio is a program that work in conjunction with your web browser allowing real-time audio capabilities. Normally, if you want to hear a sound file, you must download the file (which is usually huge) and then use a program to listen to the sound file. With RealAudio, you can listen to the file by just clicking on the link. The RealAudio program automatically will run and you can listen to the file within seconds. This is called streaming audio. At the same time, you may still continue browsing the Torahtots website without interrupting the music.

What do I need to play RealAudio sound clips?

To listen to RealAudio sound clips, you'll need:

1. A PC with a sound card or a Macintosh.

2. The most current version of the RealAudio Player.

3. An Internet connection of at least 14.4 Kbps. We recommend a 28.8 modem or faster to get the best sound quality.

3. A Web browser capable of handling "helper apps.," also known as "plug-ins." Netscape Navigator/Communicator* and Microsoft Internet Explorer* are ideal. The RealAudio Player works from within your Web browser to help you listen to streaming audio.

How do I get RealAudio?

Visit the Download Page on RealAudio's web site and download the Real player software for your system. RealNetworks offers a free basic player, and a commercial full featured version. The free player works fine with all our music. Follow the download and install instructions on the RealNetworks download page.

F.A.Q. - Frequently Asked Questions

1) Q: "When I am listening to the music, the audio is garbled and/or breaks up?"

A: Try re-connecting to your ISP to get a better connect rate. There might be congestion on the line. Sometimes the connection between your ISP and the audio server is just slow. You may have to try again at a later time.

2) Q: "The volume is really low and I can't hear the music?"

A: On Windows 98/95 - Click on the Speaker Icon in your System Tray (usually on the bottom right of your desktop next to the clock) and adjust the volume. Turn up the master and WAV volume and make sure neither one are on mute. Also if your speakers have separate volume controls, adjust the volume on your speakers.
