Can't those php files be handled by Realplayer, too? I never tried to do so. BTW, I am a big fan of The Prairie Home Companion, also on Minnesota Public Radio. To listen to the current show with only one click, I wrote a shellscript (which is seriously _below_ average), see attachment. Anyway, if there is no codec problem, the <seq><audio .......></seq> part of the php file should include the RA file to play. This is not an elegant solution, but it works for me.
