Make it easier, not harder Posted by Random Accesss Mess (from: 207.32.33.81) on October 30, 2002 at 13:34:09: In Reply to: adding a .ram file to my home page posted by Alexander on October 29, 2002 at 19:55:49: I think you just add link to your homepage just like it's a JPEG picture: http://blahblahblah.domain.whatever/yourdirectory/thefile.ram The recipient's browser is supposed to decide how to deal with the file. I feel that I should point out, however, that real audio is not nearly as popular or sucessful as Mp3. You are probably limiting access to your song by putting it in .RAM format. I think you should just put it up as an mp3. Also, some people like to download the whole song without listening to it while it downloads. I don't think .RAM files are always good for that. The same goes for .m3u files. It's better to give your recipients more choices. Also, ftp:// is sometimes faster than http:// for downloadable links. Some ftp downloaders let the user resume the download later if there is an error or interruption.
