Right-click on the link, "Save As", run it through your favorite real MP3
player. If you don't want to keep it around, just delete it after you've
listened to it. Real Audio--PFAH! Bastard program appropriated the .rpm
extension, which was already In Wide Use. If you're using a modem, it
could be that the program buffered the first N kilobytes and then tried to
stream--except a modem can't deliver the 16K/sec needed for 128Kbit/sec
MP3 streaming!

I get the first line, up until 'daisies', then it cuts out and seems to still
be playing - but no sound.
Anyone else met with this problem?

RealPlayer is a bloated, ugly, steaming peice of dog crap! It is so
integrated with "the net" that I can't move my mouse or shift in my seat
without it picking up the phone and trying to dial, which isn't such a
good thing when I share the phone with a house full of people. And
whoever heard of a countdown to view a help file? Or the stupid
multimedia help function interrupted in mid-sentence because of an error
on the network? Some of the RealMovies out there only plays on the newest
version of the player, which officially will not run on my older hardware
which seems perfectly capable of running anything that isn't a
RealSomething.
Given a choice, use something else for your own web movies. Anything
else, I really don't care!

Sorry - I just realized, I was using RealPlayer, which _has_ no visible "Save
As" button. Back to square 1.

What link? The RealPlayer dialogue box has nothing marked 'Save As'.
