Hehe...

It's not supposed to go 'tink' when you make contact.

Strictly wood-acostal. :knockedout:

 Re: An update on progress

Thanks again for your help!

And by the way I'm a tradionalist. No metal bats for me.

Thankfully too, Christ has been living in me to be my patience during this process--by grace through faith. So I've not needed a bat at all.

The saving of the file as a document does seem to be the problem. It's not saving the sermon as an MP3 file but a document file. And I can't find an option that allows this--or don't know where to look to find one.

On the Internet Explorer version I have for my iBook I can press down my control key and my mouse to reveal a pop up window. If I choose the option "open link in a new window", a new window opens and loads the sermon somehow--without using my download manager. When the loading is complete, a internet explorer player appears and I can play the sermon. So that's great news!

But here's my further problem. With this internet explorer player open, I can go to my file menu and choose "save as." The computer saves a copy as a QuickTime movie to my desktop.

As I select the get info option to learn about the file, it shows the size to be ONLY 24K!! Where did the original 8 MB get saved to?

Were they saved somewhere in internet explorer? I can't find them--nor can Sherlock.

But the result is, I can't seem to save the sermons to replay them.

Any thoughts about where these files might be located--and how to save the sermon for further use?

I checked on the iGetter. Good suggestion--but it only works for system 10. I use system 9.2 still.

Thanks again.

 Re:

On further thought, I realized that an aluminum bat would probably be conductive enough to make it dangerous as an instrument of computer discipline; monitors have a [b]lot[/b] of voltage going into that CRT.

Just goes to show that those new-fangled doctrines tend to be dangerous ;-)

As for the file saving the wrong way... I think, due to the much smaller size, that what you're actually downloading is just some kind of document that encapsulates the link to the mp3, or something like that (24K is a good bit bigger than most html though, no?). In any case, that would make it no surprise that it's just a "document" instead of an mp3.

You could try bringing it up to play and (while it's being played) hunting through your "Temporary Internet Files" directory for a suspiciously 8 Megabyte-ish (or however big it should be) looking file, copying it to some other directory as another filename, then stopping the mp3 playback, and trying to open the copy (IE should be able to run it if you go to the File Menu in the browser, click open, then browse to the file; alternatively you could put the local path in the url bar).

Computers don't cooperate easily, you have to trick them.

Ah, ol' DOS, this brings back memories; the days when a program could freely overwrite the OS's memory... well, the days when the OS writers were [i]honest[/i] about that little feature ;-)

 Re: Still not quite there yet

Again, thanks for your help--those of you who are giving computer counsel.

As to the Mac comments, don’t look negatively upon the Mac based on my inexperience. Keep in mind SermonIndex, according to my understanding, has been designed for PC users. The fact that we Mac users can keep up at all is pretty remarkable.

We have a PC that my kids use, a new one. It’s always freezing up and running into problems. My Macs over the years (I’ve had four) have been smooth running and breakdown free. I wouldn’t trade my Mac in for anything else--irrespective of needing to adapt in a case like this with SermonIndex.

Here’s an update on my progress...

I was able to locate the Microsoft cache and did indeed find a file with a 10 MB size that had just been downloaded. But I couldn’t figure out how to save it.

I did drag it into my iTunes Music folder, where the other music files are located for iTunes to read. Didn’t help. The sermon still wasn’t saved for replay.

After listening to a sermon the first time around, if I close my Internet Explorer program, the sermon won’t replay--even though I’ve saved the link from the Microsoft Player to my desk top (which I’ve then dragged to my iTunes player for play there.)

So saving the Internet Explorer File seems to be the need at hand. Any other suggestions to this end?

Perhaps I need to contact Microsoft to see what they say.

IF YOU WANT TO HEAR A TREMENDOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE CHANGING SERMON, CHECK OUT MANLEY BEASLEY ON HEBREWS 11!

Thanks again for your help!! I’m trusting Him for a solution! It would be great to play some of these sermons over and over again. Faith does come by hearing!

Brother there are many ways to do this.. you need to slow down and stick with one and get it to work. As I said before:

1) load safari browswer.
2) Put your mouse over the sermon link and get the right click menu.. ie hold down control and click.
3) choose "download linked file as"
4) choose your desktop and press save
5) open itunes and add the file to your library.

try it with this file below:

 Re:

A friend of mine gave this advice,(I'll blame him if it doesn't work) and he ONLY uses Apple.

Click import on file.
Download to desktop.
Go to iTunes.
Import into iTunes from desktop by clicking file.

or.....??

go to preferences in iTunes
import as mp3 into iTunes.

or...import as aiff files instead of mp3.

Hope it helps, if not, I'll supply his e-mail and I'm on holidays.

Thanks for the heads up WLP, always appreciate recommended messages being that there are so many to choose from here.

It's what can produce'discoveries' like Keith Daniel, who, though his messages were here in part suddenly came to many's attention from just a suggestion.
