it worked great untill recently. All of a sudden when I click on a real audio file, instead of the file opening up the real player app and playing the media, it downloads it to the desktop and i then have to go to the desktop to click on the file....thats annoying...any ideas on how to make it act normal again?? Thanks.

Did you install the latest OS X security update? RealPlayer files are no longer deemed "safe" by Safari and do no auto-open (it is annoying).

Supposedly it is possible to edit the list of files that Safari considers 'safe' to open when "Open safe files after downloading is selected."

I haven't tried modifying the safe file list...

Instead I use (a slightly modified version of) the Apple Script available at the same page to automatically launch the RAM metafiles.

Code:

property auto_open_list : {"ram", "rm"}

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
	try
		repeat with i from 1 to number of items in these_items
			set this_item to item i of these_items
			set this_item to item i of these_items
			set the item_info to the info for this_item
			if (the name extension of the item_info is in the auto_open_list) then
				tell application "Finder"
					open this_item
				end tell
			end if
		end repeat
	on error error_message number error_number
		if the error_number is not -128 then
			tell application "Finder"
				activate
				display dialog error_message buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1 giving up after 120
			end tell
		end if
	end try
end adding folder items to
