Dear Francois and LLTI;
There's no need for Computing Services to provide the Real Audio Player.
Version G2 (5.0 for Mac) is a free download from http://www.real.com
Bandwidth should not be a problem: I often listen to Radio Exterior de
Espana from home with a 56K modem. Also, I have put most of the elementary
Spanish lab program on the web for our students: They love it, since they
can work at their own computer 24 hours a day!
Best,
Karl
