Audio Instructions How to start:
If you still have questions on Streaming audio; Downloading audio; or general Troubleshooting, see the instructions below. You can always return to this help page from anywhere in the audio section by clicking on Click here for AUDIO HELP.
For
Streaming Audio: Just one click, and you can listen immediately, for free, over the internet. It's all that simple. But you will need the "Windows Media Player" installed on your computer. Newer computer systems (with operating systems such as: Windows ME, Windows 2000 or Windows XP) should already have Windows Media Player pre-installed. We recommend that you use the most updated version of the Windows Media Player. You can check to see if you need an update by visiting the Windows Media Website (PLEASE NOTE: The audio files on this site are not supported by "Real Player"). A broadband internet connection (ADSL or cable) is recommended for clear and smooth streaming. A 56K dial-up-modem connection should also be sufficient, although you may experience occasional buffering and interruptions.
For
Downloading Audio: Now you can listen to the lectures offline. The downloaded audio files are in MP3 format. Double-click on the file to open it or open it with any media player that supports MP3. You may also "burn them" to a CD or transfer them to any MP3 player (Ipod, Iriver, etc.). This is a great way of taking the lectures with you where ever you go. Please be aware that the download time may differ from lecture to lecture depending on the size of the file and type of internet connection. We hope you will be a regular visitor at the Jewish Leadership Audio. With G-d's help, we will be uploading new material on a regular basis. Did you enjoy the recordings? Were they clear? Technical problems? Your feedback is very important to us in order to improve the site. Click here to send us your comments What
are MP3 files? Another important factor is that MP3 files take up much less space than other popular formats. For example a 4 minute song will use up 40 megabytes of space. This will take up 1/20 of the space on your CD. Therefore CD's that you buy usually don't have more than 20 songs. But when the same song or lecture is compressed into MP3 form it will use only 4 megabytes or only 1/200th of the CD space. This makes it possible to easily store and quickly download many lectures. Many people who start collecting MP3 files find that they want to listen to them in all kinds of places. Small, portable MP3 players answer this need. These players are like portable cassette players except that they are smaller, many are even smaller than a cell phone. These players plug into your computer's parallel, FireWire or USB port to transfer the data, and a software application lets you transfer your MP3s into the player by simply dragging the files. You can listen to lectures while you hike, work out, drive or run the vacuum cleaner with a pocket size player and small earphones. These players come in all shapes, sizes and yes colors! Prices range from $50 to $600. Well known brands such as such as Ipod, Iriver, and Sony are available in most audio stores. You can try B & H Audio or J&R Computer World, (obviously we take no responsibility).
PROBLEM: I've clicked on a title but nothing happens. SOLUTION: If the player does not open after clicking on a title and you do not hear a lecture or music then the Windows Media Player may not have been installed correctly on your computer.
Mac users: after you click on the Windows Media Player icon, choose the recommended download for your computer. PROBLEM: Windows Media Player opens, seems to be running but I don't hear anything. SOLUTION: Did you check your volume control? First try the volume control on the media player. If that doesn't solve the problem check the settings on the Windows volume control (it can usually be found by clicking on: start/programs/accessories/entertainment/volume control).
