Audio Archive question
« on: March 25, 2011, 01:59:11 PM »
Hey everyone! I just registered on here, my name is Brad.  I love the best show and am very happy to be a fellow FOT!

Just curious if anyone that works on the show or anybody else knows whether there is a way to get the episodes
that are on the archive that are only available in the "realaudio" format to play on a mac?  I couldn't download the
realplayer software that is necesarry to play those episodes and wondered if there's a way to either get them in
quicktime compatible files or how to play them on a mac?  Thanks for any ideas you may have!

Uh...I can use RealPlayer on my Mac.  Did you try downloading it from here?

nope not yet, thanks for the suggestion! i'm at work and don't have my laptop with me so i hadn't explored options
for realplayer for mac.  i'll check that out later tonight.

Martin would say check Real Alternative.  Right. Martin?

i would avoid real player at all costs.  if real alternative works on mac, go with that for sure!
