Audio Help
We have switched from RealAudio to MP3 format for these talks. What this means for most of you is that you will be using Windows Media Player to listen to these talks instead of RealPlayer. On many Windows machines you will not have to do anything extra, as Windows Media Player is already installed. If you click on a link above and it doesn't work, go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/default.asp and download and install Windows Media Player on your machine. Then restart your web browser and try again. If you are using a Macintosh, go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ and download and install Quicktime.
We believe this change will benefit everybody, once you are set up. If you have problems with the switch, please contact the webmaster.
To download a talk for playback later, right click (control click, if using a Mac) on the link to the talk and select the appropriate option (which differs by browser) in the context-sensitive menu that appears.
