Hi, I would like to listen to the RealAudio files of the Nimbus Grand
Piano Duo-Art but all I get is 10 seconds of playing, then 20 seconds
of buffering, then 10 more seconds of playing, and so on.  It makes
listening very annoying.

Does anybody know if these Real Audio files can be downloaded to play
from my hard-disk drive?  If I right-click on the Real Audio button
for the certain selection all I get is info and save options for the
graphic button.

I did read the bit about the Duo-Art reproducing piano technical
outline, and after feeling a bit nauseous, I noted it said that the
soft half-blow in Duo-Art's was the inferior method.  I was sure this
was discussed on the MMD a while back and the opposite was often
mentioned.  Isn't this why the later grand Duo-Art's had both?
