I've since moved up to Real Player 10.5 for other reasons, and I'm not
sure if I'll be going back to Real Player 8 or not. I definitely would
prefer to use WinAmp to listen to the NFL games though, since I did find
out that the tara plugin doesn't work with Real Player 10.5. One annoying
thing with Real Player 10.5 is that I don't know how to control the volume
of the game broadcast independently from the volume of JFW. If anyone
knows, how to do this, I'd appreciate the information.
What I did to get NFL Field Pass working with WinAmp, Real Player 8 and
JFW was the following. First, to sign up, I went into WinAmp preferences
and made sure WinAmp was not associated with .ram files. When I clicked
on a broadcast link, I then got the screens needed to sign up for NFL
Field Pass. I went ahead and signed up for the seven day free trial to
make sure everything was working before I laid out the bucks.
After I was signed up, I had to do the following. I went into my Windows
startup configuration and made sure no Real Player processes were being
started automatically. These got added when Real Player was started up
after the previous step where I signed up for NFL Field Pass. I then went
into WinAmp and reassociated it with .ram files.
Then when I clicked on a broadcast link, I got the IE dialog asking me if
I wanted to save or open the file. If I choose open, the game would start
streaming through WinAmp.
Let me know if you have any question. I may not be able to play around
much, unless I end up going back to Real Player 8 myself.

Subject: NFL field pass and RP8.
If I read an earlier post correctly, Christopher Chaltain reported
success getting NFL fieldpass to work with RP8. If anyone out there
has done this and has time to document their steps it would be greatly
appreciated by at least one subscriber.
I have Windows XP Pro, and RealPlayer 8 +. I registered for the
initial seven day NFL field pass tryal, but when ever I click on a live
or archived game link I am again presented with the fieldPass sign-up
page. I enter my log-on info and receive a page indicating that I am
already registered. There does not appear to be a listen link anywhere
on this page -- it simply indicates that I can link back to NFL.COM.
I have cookies and scripting disabled so I went into IE settings and
restored factory defaults for everything but the result did not vary.
I disabled Norton Antivirus and my Spyware software and still no
change.
I prefer playing RealAudio content with Winamp hence want to avoid
installing newer RealNetworks code if at all possible. Last year my
desire for NFL field pass forced the installation of RealOne and that
cost me the ability to fast forward or jump to offsets in RealMedia
files. Given RealNetwork's track record I don't expect that 10.5
changes anything in this regard?
Thanks in advance for any/all advice and best regards.
