Audio Help
Download or Listen? Using the "Listen" Links:
If you want to sit at your computer while
you listen to the message, simply click once on the "listen" link next to any of the audio messages. In almost every case, the message should start
immediately playing right from within your internet browser. If you have a slow internet connection, this is a good way to listen to messages if you don't want
to wait for the entire file to download. By clicking the "listen" button, you can start listening to the message while your computer loads the file.
In some older browsers like Internet
Explorer 6, the file will not play until it has downloaded the entire message into its memory. If your internet connection is fast, you will only have to wait
a minute or two in this case. But, if it is slow and you don't want to wait, it's probably best that you use a different browser to listen to these messages.
Click here to download 'Firefox,' a safe, modern browser used by millions. It will allow
you to listen to the message while your computer downloads the message.
Download or Listen? Using the "Download" Links:
If you'd rather listen to the messages on
your favorite media player (like Windows Media Player, iTunes, etc.), transfer the message to an MP3 player or iPod, or burn a CD, you should use the
"Download" links to download the entire file to your computer first. Click once on the download link to get started (NOTE: you no longer have
to right-click and choose "save target as..." like you did in the older version of the website).
After you've clicked, most
internet browsers will ask you to confirm that you want do download the file. Sometimes this can take up to 20 seconds to occur, so be patient. After your
browser asks you if it is OK to download the file, choose yes and tell your computer where you want the file to download. Remember where you downloaded the
file to. We recommend downloading directly to your desktop to make finding this file as simple as possible. Some browsers automatically download the file
to the standard download spot (usually the desktop) without asking you to confirm.
I've downloaded a message. Now what?
1. You can listen to the file from your hard drive on
your computer. To do this, simply double-click on the file you downloaded. This usually opens your default media player and starts playing the
file. If you'd rather use a different program, try right-clicking on the downloaded file and choosing "open with..." This will allow you to
choose which application you want to play the file. Market Street Fellowship recommends using iTunes,
a free, easy-to-use media player - click here to download.
2. You can burn the message to a
CD to listen to elsewhere. To do this, open whatever CD burning software you usually use, and burn the downloaded file as an AUDIO disc. Make
sure you choose audio disc, not data disc, or most CD players won't be able to play the CD. If you're not sure what program you should use, we recommend
using iTunes. To burn a CD in iTunes, first open the file in iTunes, then create a new playlist with
just that file in it. Put a blank CD into your computer, select the playlist you created, and press the 'burn disc' button.
3. You can move the file to your MP3 player. Check the
instructions that came with your MP3 player if you're having trouble with this.
