AUDIO/VIDEO HELP


What you're gonna do is basically play the audio/video through the internet, rather than wait to hear it.

1. First thing, hoover your mouse over the audio link to see what type of file it is. They could be several types like .ra, .ram, .mp3, .mu3, .wma, .asi, .mov etc. The type of file will tell you what player you must use. For instance, a .mp3 file can be played in ALL media players, a .ra and .ram file can only be played in Real Audio, .wma can only be played in Window Media player and .mov is best played in Quick time. When you hoover over the media link you should see what type of file it is, like so:



2. Then copy the url of the media file, by right clicking on the link and pressing on 'copy short cut', like so:

 

3. Then you are going to open the media player by going to start > then programs or click it from your destktop. After opening the media player, then click on file > then open. All media players have this. Some will say, "open location" or "open url." Like so:

 

 

4. A box like this should appear:

 

5. Right click within the box and press paste. This will pass the short cut you previously copied. Like so:

 

6. It should appear as follow, regardless of the media player:


 

7. Press ok and immediately start listening to audio and/or viewing video. It can be done in any player and as many times as desire. Again, here are the most common files/player: 1) a .mp3 file can be played in ALL media players 2) a .ra and .ram file can only be played in Real Audio 3) a .wma can only be played in Window Media player 4) and a .mov is best played with Quick time.
