    Cant listen to audio from webpage

    I am trying to listen to an audio lecture from a web site. The only 2 options to listen are to use Realplayer or Windows Media Player. Neither will play. I have only been using linux for a few days, so I am having trouble learning this new system. Thank you for the help.

    Welcome to the forums!

    You can install Realplayer for Linux:

    RealPlayer for Linux - the best audio and video player - Real.com

    It would be best to use the package tool for your distribution to install it if possible.

    I did that, I now have an Icon "RealPlayer11GOLD.bin" on my desktop that I cannot open.
    I also opened a terminal and typed sudo apt-get install realplay
    I recieved a "couldn't find package realplay" message.

    You can check this HowTo for a number of different ways to install software under Linux:

    http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/lin...are-linux.html

    ...post# 8 explains how to install .bin files.

    If you are running one of the Debian based distributions, you'd probably have better luck downloading the .deb file off the realplayer site.
