First post so forgive me if this is the wrong place for this question.
What I’m trying to figure out how to do is be able to create a sort of streaming music playlist for RealPlayer. I want to be able to create a collection of songs encoded into seperate RealMedia files (.rm’s) and then on my website have a single link that will stream them in the order I want. I’m basically trying to do a cheap simulation of something like ShoutCast where I can create the song files seperately, maybe create a couple voice files to insert here and there and then decide what order I want them to be in and then create a file which when clicked on will launch the RealPlayer program and then stream the files to the user in the order I tell it to.
Is this possible(?), and if so, can someone please tell me where I can find more information on how to achieve this.
Many media types (Real Audio/Video, MP3, Windows Media) require a separate file,
called a metafile, to tell the server "send this as streaming media, don't just
start a download." Metafiles are sometimes also called playlists.
Media and metafiles have to be put into the public/ folder of your site. The
Media file is the file you want to stream, the metafile is just a simple text
file. Macintosh users should be aware to save it with Unix linefeeds. This can
be done with the BBEdit utility: save as: options: Unix linefeeds.
MPEG video files (.mpg, .mpeg, .mpa) stream themselves by default, without the
need for a metafile. This doesn't give you the ability to set up playlists,
however. There's a new metafile spec (.mxu) for MPEG video playlists; it's not
very widely supported, but you can give it a try if you like. Syntax is the same
as for .m3u audio metafiles.
RAM File (Realmedia streaming format) :
