Troubleshooting Audio

You'll need to have an MP3 player to listen to the audio samples. Windows Media Player will play MP3 files. There are two ways to listen to the audio samples. Samples can either be downloaded to your computer hard drive or opened from the server. Click on the audio sample you wish to listen to. A window will appear with two options: "Open this file from its current location" or "Save this file to disk." If you select "Save this file to disk," choose a destination folder and wait until the download is complete. Find the file and click on it to listen.

If you select "Open this file from its current location," Windows Media Player will automatically launch. The MP3 file will start to download. It will take about a minute (w/56K) to download the file. You might find that the song will stop and start during download. This is related to the speed at which you are connected to the internet. To avoid the starting and stopping of the song, hit the pause button (middle button with two lines) after the song starts to play. Watch the status bar (above the pause button) as the song continues to download. When the download is complete, hit the play button and enjoy.

Here are some helpful hints if you are using Netscape.

The best way to listen to the audio samples is to download them instead of trying to open them from the server.

Right click on the audio sample you wish to listen to. Select "save link as" and save to a destination folder of your choice. After download is complete click on the file to listen.
