I. streaming audio with MP3: 
If streaming audio does not work, use the DOWNLOAD option right away. You can also download the testfiles! 
This option should work with WinAmp 1.92 but may produce a wrong error message with some other players yet ('URL not on this server' or something like this). 
Start your mp3-player, select <play location> and type in the adress (for example 'http://www.schuechtern.de/noise/revolution/revolution.mp3' (you can also mark the adress below, copy it and paste it then into the play location field). Then your player will buffer some seconds and start to play.  
Please consider that the 128 kbit/sec file requires a very good connection. 
draft mix 151 C 0.9 

format 128kb/sec

the adress is:  http://www.schuechtern.de/noise/revolution/revolution.mp3

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE THE DOWNLOAD OPTION RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE WEB TRAFFIC DURING THE DAY OFTEN CAUSES INTERRUPTIONS EVEN IF THE CONNECTION IS BASICLY GOOD. 
 

II. streaming REAL AUDIO (Real Audio Player 3.0* or higher): 
You can select from 4 different mixes: 

draft mix 151 C 0.9	other versions
Mono for 28.8 Modem	draft mix 151 B 0.9  draft mix 113 B3 0.9  mix 113 C 0.9  BECAUSE OF LIMITED DISK SPACE, FILES OF THOSE OTHER 3 VERSIONS YOU CAN FIND AT THE CELLAR ARCHIVES
ISDN Stereo

*files with an asteriks: Here streaming audio is only possible for 4.0 and higher (G2 is higher than 5.0). For Player 3.0 please use the DOWNLOAD option. 
You dont need to have ISDN to download the ISDN Stereo Version. But with a 28.8 Modem the song will be interrupted every 20 seconds because Real Audio needs more time to download and buffer the information to continue playing. It is recommended to use the 28.8Mono file to prelisten and download the ISDN file to your disk. More help? Click on 'help' above. Do not worry when you have only a 14.4 modem. Use the download  option. Your modem limit affects only what you can listen as 'streaming' audio (listen while loading). Once downloaded completely to your disk you can listen to anything.   
It is very difficult to see whether streaming audio really works for all parts ofthe world. Please help to further improve this service. If there have been problems with the connection please mail here and tell from which part of the world you tried which file and which connection you have to the internet. Two or three words of you can help very much. Thank you. 

I. MP3: 
BEST: Click on the link with your right mouse button and select 'save link as'. Then start file manually from your file manager/explorer. 
ALSO POSSIBLE: With left mouse button: Click on the link below. Depending on the configuration of your browser you will either be asked where to save the file to or the browser begins download immediately. If you are not asked where to save the file to, it will be stored temporarily in the 'c:\windows\temp' or 'c:\windows\temporary internet files' directory. To keep the file you will have to copy the file (f.e. revc128.mp3) into another directory before closing browser or apllication! If not, it will get deleted again automatically. 
draft mix 151 C 0.9 

format 128kb/sec

Level E (4:07, stereo, 128Kbit/sec, 3.7MB)

*Level A = worst sound, but smallest files / Level E = best possible on this server 

II. REAL AUDIO (Player 3.0 or higher): 
When you click on a file to download below, your browser will download the file (for example 'revcmono.ra') and write it into your c:\windows\temp directory/folder (the Microsoft Internet Explorer uses 'c\windows\temporary internet files'). Then your RealAudio Player should start and play the song. But if you want to keep the song the following measure has to be taken: You have to copy the file (for example 'revcmono.ra') from 'c:\windows\temp' (or 'c:\windows\temporary internet files') to a different directory of your choice before you exit Netscape/RealAudio. Otherwise it gets deleted again automatically. 
BETTER: Click on the link with your right mouse button and select 'save link as'. Then start file manually from your file manager/explorer. 
You can select from 4 different mixes: 

draft mix 151 C 0.9	other versions
Level B (4:07, mono, less good, 480 Kb)	draft mix 151 B 0.9  draft mix 113 B3 0.9  mix 113 C 0.9  BECAUSE OF LIMITED DISK SPACE, FILES OF THOSE OTHER 3 VERSIONS YOU CAN FIND AT THE CELLAR ARCHIVES
Level C  (4:07, stereo, better 1.2MB)

*Level A = worst sound, but smallest files / Level D = best possible sound in Real Audio format

REVOLUTION IS PART OF THE SINGLE OF THE MONTH SERIES. ALSO CHECK: 
  

Software requirements: The software you need to play this file is the Real Audio Player or Real Media Player. The required version is 3.0 or higher. The most recent version is 5.0. This player is a recommended Plug In for your Netscape Browser or Internet Browser and is used all over the world to compress audio files. This is necessary because an uncompressed file (that features better quality of cause) for a 4:15 stereo song is about 45 MB. The Real Audio file in Mono only 0.5 MB. It would take you more than 3 hours to download the original file (and only  if no error occurs). A reduced RealAudio file depending on the grade of the compression is sized only 260 KB to 2,4 MB. But it has to be remarked that the size of the file determines the quality of the sound. It reaches from about AM-quality to something near HIFI Stereo. 
 So if you don't have the Real Audio Player yet, download your Real Audio Player now.  

Hardware requirements: A basic sound card or audio card like Soundblaster16 is a sufficient device in combination with speakers, headphones or a cable to your HIFI Amplifier. If you can play any other sound files you will be able to play this one as well.  
 

1) weird data or only the text "pnm://www.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/..." is displayed by your browser? Check if RealAudio Player or (RealMedia Player) is installed at all. If yes, check your browsers (Netscape/Microsoft Internet Explorer) options/preferences: files with the extensions "*.ra", "*.ram", "*.rm" should be started/handeled by the RealAudio Player.  

2) option 'Listen to ...': It can happen Netscape (or the Internet-Explorer) does not start the RealAudio Player but offers to save the file to disk instead. Then you should save the file to disk with the extension "*.ra", "*.rm" or "*.ram" and start it from your Windows-Explorer. Another possibility is: Check on Options/Preferences of your browser, change file handling for those extensions from save to disk to open with RealAudio Player. 

x) A general alternative to starting the file by the browser is to start the Real Audio Player from your Desktop or your Windows-Explorer before downloading and Open the URL of the song: In this example it means Open URL: "revolution-c-mono.ra". This option also allows you to influence the buffer management: It depends on how your presettings in "View""Preferences""General""Buffer" are set, whether your PC starts to play immediately or after a certain time of downloading. The right presetting depends on how fast the Internet access is. If the song is interrupted while playing you will have to increase the buffer value. Anyway you can prelisten with a small buffer value, then wait until the complete song is downloaded and listen again. This buffer management makes it possible to download ISDN-files as well with a 28.8 modem. It only takes a little longer until the song can be listened to in full length. 

y) A further explaination: For each soundfile two RealAudio files exist: The first has the extension "*.ra". This is the real sound file to get played by the RealAudio player. The other file has the extension "*.ram". This file only delivers non-audio information your RealAudio player needs in case the first file has not been (temporarily) stored on your hard disk. 

z) Any problems that are different? This service will only be improved by your help. Tell the problem and best give information on RealAudio version, browser version and operating system. mail here
