play music

[Guest W8N4U]

I have some files of music that I can't play because I originated them in Real

Player, which I don't have anymore. (I only have Windows Media Player). I also have

music that has the extension .rax. Can I change that to open with the Windows Media

Player? Please give specific directions.

I have Windows 98se with 4GB left, on Dell xps t450. I would rather not download any

new player, especially not Real Player. Thanks.

Probably not. The Real format is pretty proprietary. If you really want

them, either find a good converter program (through Google), OR install some

version of Real or Real Player Alternative.

It is probably easier to get a program like Limewire and download the songs

again in a format supported by WMP. A word of caution--if you use Limewire,

watch the file sizes and types as many virus files are out there. I also

scan each downloaded file with my AV program before using it.

Thank you all. I finally downloaded Real Player, and it is not hurting my system as

yet.
