How do I stream a real media file without having to point the direct link to the file?
like this:
the html or php or asp calls the realplayer program on the users computer to stream the audio file, without downloading or having to keep that in the temp folder...example link (like I want):

I know I'm not helping so sorry in advance, but please if you have a choice don't use real media streaming. Quicktime and Media player is more stable and I can't tell you how many times I've been on a streaming real player where it either doesn't work or takes forever to buffer.
Ignore me if you have no other option.

Sorry I really don't have much experience with this. Just on the user side. Good luck though.

Ok, I'll try a quicktime embed tag, is it the best choice?

i recommend windows media format, as it's available in every pc and user can download the codecs in sec. RealOnePlayer is like 10mb+.. but I find out Real Media is the easiest around to stream a file... er..think so.

never ever use real media, don't even think about it as an option, fuck it ok, don't fucking use it
that shit has to die like right now

you know the best way for music is still mp3
you just drag the file onto winamp and it streams it for you and you can jump around in the file
- quamb0
wonder if there is a way to direct an mp3 to stream? real media and windows media (to an extent) are both annoying.
would be nice if there was some kind of streaming standard, so one could use any damn program they like to do so.

Carlos, you could use a flash approach. mp3 tracklist and smooth streaming...
- JazX0
yeah carlos, unfit's right why not use some Flash with XML? It might be smoother for you

hey unfit, my brother is making me an mp3/xml flash player, we are streaming one big mp3 wit hvarious tracks in it, he has it set up so you can jump ahead and backwards to various tracks within the one mp3 once loaded, it works locally but it doesnt work as a stream for some reason, have you ever come across this?
