Can't download music anymore

Post by R Robichaud »

I used to download music such as steel breaks & intros that are found in the Rebel web site. I would download, listen to or save on my C drive without any problems. Now when I try to download music it downloads into my note pad as text as RA file instead of Wave file.
I'm totally frustrated and cannot figure why. Can anyone help?

Try re-associating RA file type to the application you want to open it with.

I didn't know Media player would play RA files, but could be there is an add-on to do that. Usually RA would be opened with Real Player.

Save an RA file to your hard drive, then hold the shift key and rightclick on it. There is an 'open-with' showing on the menu, choose it, pick the right program, and make sure the 'always open with' box is checked.

Hope this helps.
