2. What are the media formats for this site?
Windows Media Audio File (WMA) and Windows Media Video file (WMV) are the supported formats. Windows Media Player is free and can be downloaded from the Microsoft site. This format gives a secure and legal way of downloading quality files from the Internet. To download Windows Media Player please go to www.microsoft.com or click on the Windows Media Player link provided above.

3. How do I download and install Windows Media Player?
Click on the link provided above for downloading Windows Media Player. You will be asked to select the correct version of WMP for your operating system. You should then press the download button which will install the set-up file to your hard drive. Following the download of the set-up file you should be automatically prompted to open this program. Then follow the instructions to install the player, this will install the player or upgrade any existing windows player you may already have. Once installed it will become your default player unless you change the settings during installation or you change the settings in the options section of the player after installation.

4. What is the difference between streaming and downloading media files?
Normally a streaming file is a temporary file that can only be listened to in real-time and will not be stored permanently on your PC. The download file is a more permanent file and is placed into a file on your PC to be accessed and played on your Windows Media Player.

5. Should I choose the low or high resolution streaming option?
The site will offer both low resolution and high resolution streaming options. Low resolution is best suited to slower speed connections of up to 56/64Kbps. Low resolution images offer a shorter download time with lower quality picture resolution and size. High resolution is suitable for all connections but especially 128Kbps or higher. Image quality is enhanced and picture size is usually larger.
