How do I get sound over the Internet?   And what is "Real Player?"

Sound is a wonderful feature on the Internet. If you don't have it, I strongly encourage you to add it. (Warning: for sound to work, you must have speakers attached to your computer.)

A very popular "audio" program (the one I use) is called Real Player. The goods news is that the program is FREE, and you get it quickly and conveniently over the Internet. To get the program you go to the Real Player web site and "download" a file to your computer.

Check out these web sites to see other uses for sound (and video):

• Music Boulevard - listen to CD's before buying them.
• National Public Radio - listen to the actual broadcast of "All Things Considered"

For  more information about Real Player and to get your FREE version, visit their web site.
