Copthorne Macdonald's
Streaming Media Materials
(The Wisdom Page Podcast has additional Cop Macdonald audio materials.)
NOTE: Recent versions of RealPlayer and Windows Media Player
software permit access to streaming media presentations. The "streaming
media" approach permits listening to (and in some cases simultaneously
viewing) audio and audio-visual materials on line, in real time, with
only a short startup delay. Some of the presentations below are available
in more than one format or connection speed. Pick the one that best
fits your situation. If you are using a Windows PC and Windows Media Player
software, the MP3 and WMA feeds will start to play right away
in streaming media fashion if Windows Media Player has been
selected as the default player for these file types. If it is not
the default player, you may find that the files just silently download
instead of playing. To correct this situation, start Windows Media
Player, click Tools,
then Options,
then the File Types
tab. The boxes next to MP3
Audio File (mp3) and Windows
Media Audio File (wma) must contain check marks. See that they
do, click Apply,
then click OK.
