Joe,
I just tried to access the Digital Appalachia sound files. I get Realplayer then a message saying "Realplayer requires additional components to play this presntation. Please wait while the software update is located"
Then there's a message: "There is no software update available from Real to support this content"

Has anyone else had this problem or am I just being stupid (nothing unusual)?

Hi, BigJ. You may want to use Windows Media Player of Quicktime to play MP3 files, since RealPlayer has significant limitations. See my more-detailed answer in this thread (click).
