  • Can I save audio files to my computer so that I can listen offline?

    Yes! if you are like most people these days, and you use Internet Explorer, simply click on the filename using the right mouse button. Then select the "Save Target as" option to save it to a directory on your hard disk.

    Depending on your internet connection, this may take a minute or so. Your should ensure that you remember to which directory you asked it to download.

    If you use the LEFT Mouse Button the audio file will generally start up Windows Media Player and start playing the file "as it downloads"

    Download Windows Media Player - free

     

    Can I "Fast Forward" an audio file?

    Generally Yes, if you have downloaded it rather than just "Left Mouse" clicking it. Drag the Progress button to the right, to the desired portion of the file. The player should continue at that point.

    If you have merely just used the left mouse button to click it then you may have to wait for the more of the file to be downloaded into your buffer before you can skip very far into the file.


    Can I burn the Audio File to a CD?

    Yes, simply download the audio file as described previously, and burn the data file to a CD as you would normally.

    CDs created like this will generally only play on a computer or modern DVD player as the file is usually an MP3 or WMA format file which will not play on a car or standard stereo CD player.

     
     

    Can I burn the Audio file to an Audio CD for listening via a normal CD Player?
    Yes. Once you have downloaded the audio file you can use the following steps.  

    Via Windows Media Player - Single File

    • Download the file you want to store on the CD to a specific directory
    • Double Click it in that directory and Windows Media Play should start playing it
    • Select the COPY to CD Option from the left hand panel
    • The Currently playing track should be the only one shown in the "Items to Copy" Panel. Ensure that the track has been selected (with a tick) and that the STATUS is "Ready to Copy":

      If the track cannot be selected or the STATUS is something else, you may need to use the "Multiple Track" procedure described further below.
    • Otherwise Insert a Blank Cd into your CD-RW Drive
    • Select the CD-RW Device in the right hand panel:
    • Click the Copy Button in the top right hand corner. and the process should start. It may go through an "Inspecting" and "Converting" stage before a final "Copying to CD" Stage.
    • You should then have a CD that will play in a normal CD player!

    Via Windows Media Player - Multiple Files

    The Simplest way to copy Multiple Tracks to an audi CD is to have them within the same "Playlist" within Windows Media Player.

    To do this

     
    • Start Windows Media Player
    • If the audio tracks are not already registered within Windows Media Player then you will need to Search the appropriate directory in order to register them. If they are already registered then skip the next step.
    • Use the Search option within the TOOLS Menu, point it to the directory containing the required tracks and click the "search" button.
    • Select the "Media Library" option
    • Expand the "Album" listing and you should see an Album called "Unknown". This should contain your recently found (via the Search function) tracks
    • In the right hand Panel, "Right Mouse" Click the track you require and select add this to Playlist.
    • Select an existing Playlist or create a new one.
    • Repeat this for all required Tracks
    • Click the "Copy to CD" Button on the left hand side of the window
    • Select the Playlist you wish to use from the Pull Down list
    • Continue to Burn your CD as per the instructions for a single track (above)
