If you are having trouble with downloading/streaming sermons some of the following may help.
Right click on the link and select “Save target as...” to download the file to a
folder of your choice
or left click on the link and the MP3 should stream in your
default media player.
- If it opens as a page of garbage text
click on the
back button and try again - that frequently cures it.
- If it does not stream but
starts a download to a temporary file instead
(a) you may have Internet security
set to prevent scripts running
- indicated by a warning bar above the
web page
(b) you may not have chosen a default media player for MP3 files.
To set up Windows Media Player as default
click on Tools, then Options, then
Filetypes
and make sure that the box is ticked next to MP3 audio file.
For QuickTime
the sequence is
Edit, then Preferences, then QuickTime Preferences,
then
expand (click on + in the box) MP3 - MPEG layer III movies and streams,
then
tick the box next to MP3 audio.
At present I do not find that having Vista is at all helpful! I do not know how to
make it stream. Any advice would be welcome. (Yes, I do know the obvious advice:
ditch Vista!)
Be aware that the sermons are typically around 5MB in size, which will take a long time if you rely on dial-up connection. It might be advisable to use a download manager so that you can continue where you left off if your download is interrupted for any reason.
