How to compress real player files?

[webustaad]

Dear webmasters!

I hope you all are fine and in good health.

Do you know how to compress real player files? Is it possible to send these audio files through email?

Real Player files are in fact compressed audio files. Compressing them again will do you next-to-no good.

You can indeed send these files through email. If you have the file on your hard drive, then you can email it as an attachment just like any other file.

Beware though, Real Player files could be quite large, and several -> majority of smtp servers limit the size of incoming emails.

Or you can just put the files on a web server, send a link to the files and let the end-user hit the link and play it over the net.
