Purpose of .ram (Real Media Metafile) file
Files with the .ram file extension are used by RealPlayer to play offline or online audio files on your computer. RAM files contain URLs to other RealMedia files, such as .rm files in which the actual audio or video content is stored.
When I upload a .ram file to the Internet, I get an error ? What should I do?
Typically, the behavior is caused when the .ram file is not created correctly. When you create a .ram file, you must ensure that it contains a single line that points to the full URL of the .rm file. To understand this better, let?s see the below-mentioned example.
Let?s say you want to create a .ram file, named test.ram to point to the test.rm file. To do so, use a text editor and list the URL to where the test.rm file is stored. For instance, if test.rm file is located on thisismywebsite.com, then your .ram file, titled test.ram must contain a single line that points to the location of the test.rm file, which is ? http://thisismywebsite.com/test.rm.
If there is any mistake in the URL, such as spelling mistake then you will receive an error when you upload the .ram file to the Internet.
