355983 2005-05-18 04:12:00 So much for that.......

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file is either corrupt or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play.

I'm afraid I have no control over the file formats used in the links I give to downloadable or playable music. Most links I use are at the Red Hot Jazz site run by Scot Black, and the files are all Real Media.
Most of the old music sites seem to be either Real Media or MP3. I think this is historical as the free Real Encoder and it's later variants was used widely for website streaming audio.

And what might a alternative be.
Did I read Real Player was a dog?

It isnt intrusive like Real Player can be, and is quite a neat player for .rm files.

There is also a Quicktime alternative, and the Media Player Classic can also replace Windows Media Player if you want.
