example of RM Downloader.

- If you prefer to manually enter the ram file's address directly into RD, click on the Load button on RD's
screen to open the URL Loading screen. In the "Load" box that
opens, type in:
"http://www.cnn.com/audio/radio/liveaudio.smil".
Then click 'ok', RD will load the stream for you.
- If you want to record the stream which RealPlayer is playing, single click the "File" drop-down menu on the RealPlayer interface. Choose "View file info" under "Clip Properties", Copy "http://www.cnn.com/audio/radio/liveaudio.smil" in the Clip Info Box. Paste the address "http://www.cnn.com/audio/radio/liveaudio.smil" in the RD's loading url box. Then click 'ok', RD will load the stream for you.

the stream has been sucessfully loaded, you'll get the message
"Please press 'Start' to download the ready files". If not, you'll get an error
message.
