MP3 FILES
|
A digitally compressed audio file
format that enables CD quality audio to be used on the internet
in manageable file sizes. All the downloadable music on this
site is in this format. |
| "MEDIA PLAYER DOES NOT SUPPROT THIS FORMAT" |
If you get this message in windows Media Player
or whatever multimedia software you are using, make sure it
supprts the MP3 format. Go to the options/preferences section
select all the available formats, making sure it does actually
have a box to check for MP3. If it does not supprt MP3 download
latest release of Windows Media Player from Microsoft. |
| STREAMING |
Streaming is when your audio player starts to
play the MP3 file as soon as it has downloaded enough of the
file to act as a buffer. This avoids a lot of tedious waiting
and tea making. Windows Media Player supports this so get hold
of a copy. Download
latest release of Windows Media Player from Microsoft. |
| STOP/START AUDIO WHEN STREAMING |
Unless you have a fast connection, it is likely
that the audio will not always be downloaded fast enough to
keep up with the playback and you will get gaps in the play
back. If this happens do nothing. Be patient, wait for the entire
file to download, then press play on you media player. It will
now play perfectly from the cache on your computer. |
COMPRESSED
WAVE FILES |
A PC format which enables audio to be greatly
compressed. All the automatic audio loops on this site are in
this format. They should play perfectly on Macs and PCs when
Windows Media Player is installed. |
| CODECS |
In Windows these are what your Media player needs
to decompress compreessed wave files. If you get a "codec
not installed" message when a page loads, try installing
the latest version of Windows Media Player. Download
latest release of Windows Media Player from Microsoft. |
