Can you clarify exactly what you mean here. The recently announced test API lists .ra and .RAM for 'locations' for the radio stations. I have seen no mention anywhere of any restriction on what one may personally access. Pardon my ignorance but are .ra files considered as RAM files?
The multicast trial provides links to RAM files that open in Real Player. I think I must be getting very confused; perhaps I don't understand what you mean by "link directly to RAM files"? Is there some difference between 'listen live' and 'listen again'?
