MP3s:
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 is the industry standard audio format. To download the MP3 files from the sermons page, PC users should right click on the linked file name and select "Save Target As", Mac users should right click on the linked file name and select "Save Linked File" or Option-Click the link.
The Windows Media Player software that comes bundled with Windows is able to play MP3 files for PC users. The iTunes and Quicktime software that comes bundled with OS X is able to play MP3 files for Mac users.
Both PC and Mac users can import the MP3 files to iTunes to put on their iPod (or similar software for other MP3 players).
MP4s:
MPEG-4 is the industry standard video format, and as-well as being used on computers it can be used on portable multimedia players such as the Sony PSP, Apple iPod and others. To download the MP4 files from the sermons page, PC users should right click on the linked file name and select "Save Target As", Mac users should right click on the linked file name and select "Save Linked File" or Option-Click the link.
The Windows Media Player 11 software that comes bundled with Windows is not natively able to play MP4 files, however the upcoming Windows Media Player 12 will be able to. To play an MP4 file with Windows Media Player the installation of a Codec is necessary, and we recommend the K-Lite Codec Pack which is available for free download here. However this could be a good opportunity for PC users to download the free iTunes or Quicktime software, as these are able to play MP4 files as-well as numerous other additional file types. VLC is another highly recommended multimedia player as-well. The iTunes and Quicktime software that comes bundled with OS X is able to play MP4 files for Mac users.
Both PC and Mac users can import the MP4 files to iTunes to put on their video-compatible iPod (or similar software for other MP4 players).
