Dial-up
Connection Hints
....................................................
Those
with telephone "Dial-Up Modem" connections (56k)
might want to first quickly visit our conference web
pages first to load them into your browser. Should you
want to hear a presentation with accompanying pdf
visuals, you should download that as well prior to
listening to the talk. When the pages are completely
downloaded, come back to the first day of the convention
and click on any presentation audio file.mp3 that you'd
like to hear. By doing this, you will ensure that the
speech/talk plays without interuption as you browse
through the conference pages on our site.
Clicking
on an audio link will bring up your media player
window.Once the audio begins to play, click the player's
window into the background to return to the conference's
illustrated web pages. If your audio player does not play
the audio link when clicked, please read the next
section.
Streaming
Audio Help:
To
get audio files to play, you must click on links ending
with .mp3
STREAMING:
- is a continuous feed of our audio files to your audio
player so that you don't have to wait for the complete
download prior to listening. This is an important
function for all listeners to know about, especially for
those with just a regular telephone dial-up connection.
The
streaming solution for PC listeners using Internet
Explorer:
Decide to use Windows Media Player as your default
player. Check to make sure you have one of the latest
versions. This multimedia player program just keeps
getting better with each update.
Method:
Launch Windows Media Player. In full screen mode where
menus are available, go: Tools / Options / Select Tab:
File Types / click "Select All", and then click the "OK"
button.
Go to
each of the other players on your computer and find its
Preferences or Options area 'File Types'. Deselect all
the different file types, especially "mp3" files.
Examples of other audio players are: QuickTime, Real
Audio, Winamp, etc.
Once
you've done this, your computer should now use Windows
Media Player as the default player. So,... now when you
click on our "audio-name.mp3" link, Windows
Media Player will launch automatically and start
streaming the program to you within about 5-30 seconds
after an initial short connection download.
