Amazingly, this one's not from Cute Overload. It's on a site for
the singer Willy Mason. He has a page of photos he took and this was the
first one. (I love musicians who love cats. )

Oh, I didn't even notice that! I loved the black kitty twisted all
backwards and upwards.

If you love musicians who love cats, you might want to check out folk
musician Cindy Mangsen's 2005 CD Cat Tales. It's a collection of songs
about cats, including a very funny song Cindy wrote called Rudy's Big
Adventure. Rudy is the cat who got his head stuck in a garbage disposal
(and lived to "meow" about it). I'm sure most of you have read the story
of Rudy. The cat on the CD cover is Cindy's cat Alice.

Cindy is married to folk musician/songwriter Steve Gillette.

You can listen to clips from the CD at
http://storerevenue.biz/compassrosemusic/cattales.asp , or visit their
web site at http://compassrosemusic.com .

Full disclosu I am their webmaster, and a lifelong cat lover too.

Oh, thank you!! That sounds great! Sounds like my kind of album.

I couldn't listen to the clips, though - the javascript kept giving
me "alerts" saying "rtsp is not a registered protocol". I've never seen
sound files with an .rm extension, could that be the problem?

Thanks,
Joyce

Well, that is indeed interesting (and is something I want to fix).
"rtsp" IS the standard protocol for streamed Real clips. You do need a
player, either the (very old) RealPlayer or the newer RealOne. Maybe you
don't have one of these players, or maybe you have a very old version?

I suppose I should have an explanation of that on the web site, but I
hadn't gotten to that yet. I use this format on all of my sites, and you
are the first person who mentioned this problem - but maybe others just
gave up. I am very happy you told me!

If you don't have either RealPlayer or RealOne, or if you have an old
RealPlayer (older than 7.0), let me know via a reply here (or you can
email me if you'd like to not clutter up the newsgroup with my
problemsolving). The "rm" extension is as old as the hills (well, many
years old). It is the filetype for the encoding format used by Real.
Often you see "ram" which used to be required for streaming, but is not
required by recent players.

I can assure you that you will love what you hear, so I will figure out
a solution that works for you.

..rm files are played by Real Player. A player is available
free from their web site:
http://www.real.com. Do these kitties
"meow" their songs?

Uh, no, these are song written and sung by humans not kitties. One song,
written by Cheryl Wheeler, is called Meow. That's the closest it gets.

I used to have Real Player, but then a few years ago, my C drive
crashed. After replacing the drive, I went back to real.com to
download Real Player again, but I found that they had completely
redesigned the UI. I hated the new design, and I couldn't find a
way to get the old version back again, so I gave up on it. I now
either use iTunes, or more recently, I've been listening to
pandora.com, rather than choosing the songs myself. I really like
the element of surprise that comes with a "radio" station.
