This is based on a file originally downloaded from
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/Members/gc.yuen/RA.lha
It was altered according to the instructions given by jh@netcom.com, and
recompiled with GCC.
To use it, you'll need
1) An Amiga (what else would you want?)
2) A recent ixemul.library (I use 47.3)
3) A sampleplayer capable of handling 16-bit, signed raw data, such as:
a) Play16
b) AHI
Instructions:
1) Download a .ra file from your favorite source. Both 14.4 and 28.8 formats
are now supported, although not *every* file works. Yet.
2) Open a shell window.
3) If you're using Play16, type
RA (or RA2 for 28.8) myrafile.ra >tempfile
Play16 tempfile RAW SIGNED BITS 16 FREQ 8000
Or, if you want to use AHI, you can type
RA (or RA2 for 28.8) myrafile.ra >AUDIO:B/16/F/8000/T/SIGNED
Voila! You should now be listening to a RealAudio file on your Amiga!
Good luck, and enjoy!
Note: I take no credit whatsoever for this. I didn't write it, although I wish
that I did. I just changed a couple of lines, following posted instructions, and
compiled it.
Changes:
1.1 Fixed so that it works with PIPE: for concurrent downloading and playing.
Thanks Francis!!!
Changed main()'s return type to int.
Added an AmigaDOS version string to the beginning.
2.0 Merry Christmas, boys and girls! We can now listen to 28.8 streams.
EXTRA special thanks go to David Lindauer (visit his MS-DOS RA page
at http://www.members.tripod.com/~ladsoft/ra.htm)!
