AUDIO INSTRUCTIONS
There are two options available for listening to Lessons from this website.
1. Streaming ~ which is the technical term for listening to audio without actually downloading the file to your computer. You do this by clicking on the "listen audio" link. (This is the preferred method for those who have a dial-up internet connection using a phone line)
2. Downloading ~ which is where you are actually downloading a copy of the entire file from the server onto your own computer. You do this by RIGHT CLICKING (i.e. clicking the right button on your mouse) on the "download audio" link.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Streaming
If you have a standard dial-up connection, you probably want to just listen to the sermon rather than downloading it. When using a dial-up connection, downloading a large file like this could take up to several hours.
To do this, simply click on the "listen audio" link. Your computer will most likely automatically open up your default audio player that is on your computer (e.g. media player, real player, music match, itunes, etc.) When it opens it will most likely say "buffering" for a few seconds. Some audio players will begin playing immediately after the buffering is completed. With others you will have to press play to begin the audio. That's it!
If your computer does not appear to have an audio player already installed, you can get any number of them free by downloading them from their websites. A link to MediaPlayer and RealPlayer are provided below.

Downloading
To download the file RIGHT CLICK on the "download audio" link and select "Save Target As...". (If you have a Mac, CONTROL CLICK and then select "Save Link to File...", if you use Mozilla Firefox, RIGHT CLICK and selet "Save Link To File...") This will give you the ability to name the file and choose where to download it on your computer.
Under "File Name" simply name it whatever you wish, and under "Save In" choose the location on your computer where you desire to file to be saved.
Once the file is downloaded onto your computer, double click on the icon it created for you and it will begin to play with whatever audio player you have on your computer. If you do not have an audio player installed on your computer (most computers come with audio players already installed) click on one of the links provided above to download a free player.
Audio Problems
There are many audio players available to listen to audio files. We have noticed that some audio players may have difficulty playing certain audio files. For instance, the audio lesson will play OK for a while an then stop playing the audio lesson. If you are experiencing problems listening to an audio lesson, we recommend that you try playing the audio lessons withWindows Media Player. To download Windows Media Player, click on the link above. If you presently have Windows Media Player installed on your computer, you need to make sure that the MP3 box in Windows Media Player has a check mark in it. To make sure that this box has a check mark in it:
Click on: Start, Programs, Accessories, Entertainment, Windows Media Player, Tools, Options, File Types.
See if there is a check mark in the box next to MP3 Audio File (MP3).
If there is no check mark in this box, click into the box. A check mark should appear.
Click Apply, then OK.
Now when you click on the audio lesson to play, Windows Media Player should play the audio lesson.
Sometimes another audio player will revert back to being the default audio player for MP3s. You might have to go back and reset the play MP3 box in Windows Media Player so that the lessons will play again on Windows Media Player. If you are upgrading or installing Windows Media player for the first time, be sure to check any box that might appear designating Windows Media Player as the default player.
