General
What is an MP3 Download?
An MP3 (MPEG, Audio Layer 3) is an audio file
format (.mp3) used widely across all computing platforms (Windows/Mac/Unix/Linux).
MP3 files are easily transferable online by offering dramatically
lower file sizes, though still offering near CD-quality sound.
ICLE offers MP3 downloads as
a convenient way to listen to ICLE‘s seminars on the go. MP3
downloads allow you to listen to a seminar topic by topic on any MP3
player,
such as an iPOD or Dell DJ, or using desktop applications, like
Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.
Access to MP3 Downloads for ICLE Partners
Access to MP3 downloads is available to ICLE Partners
as part of the Partnership. To access MP3 downloads go to the Partnership
area on the ICLE web site and click on Webcasts and MP3 Downloads.
You may use either the search or browse function to locate the seminar
or individual section of the seminar that you would like to listen to.
When you have located the seminar right click on the MP3 Download
link. Select Open if you want to listen to the MP3 immediately,
select Save target as to listen to it later on your computer
or MP3 player. If you select Save target as you will
be prompted to select a location to save the file, once you have selected
the location click Save and the file download will begin.

Using MP3 Downloads
What Are the Minimum System Requirements for Using MP3 Downloads?
-
Windows Operating System (98, ME, NT, 2000, XP):
Pentium 133 MHz* or greater; 32MB of RAM; basic sound card (or integrated
sound)
-
Macintosh Operating System (OS 7.5, 8, 9, X): PowerPC*
or greater; 32MB of RAM; basic sound card (or integrated sound)
-
MP3 computer software:
Windows Media Player, Real Player, QuickTime, WinAmp or equivalent
software
*Lower speeds are possible, but you may sacrifice sound
quality.
Given their growing popularity, MP3s are playable by a variety of
different programs; in fact, most computers already have software that
will play them. Common software that plays MP3s is Windows Media Player
(available on all Windows operating systems), Real Player (PC/Mac)
and QuickTime (PC/Mac), for example. Standalone MP3 player software
is also available; WinAmp for example is a very popular (and free)
option.
You may also play MP3s on a standalone MP3 player,
such as an iPod or Dell DJ. Few cell phones also have the capability.
Please see
the links below or consult the manufacturer’s documentation for
any further information and assistance.

How Do I Download an MP3 File?
-
From the MP3 downloads you‘ve purchased area of
the MyICLE
page, click on the title of the MP3 you want to download. This will
take you to an
MP3
Downloads
page.
-
Right click on the
file
you want
to
download.
-
Click on Save Target As (IE) or
Click on Save Link As (Netscape).
-
Be sure to note the file name and the name of the folder and drive
in which you save it.
-
ICLE offers one zipped file of the entire
seminar or individual files for each topic. Because
the zipped file contains all the topics
for the seminar, it will be considerably larger and take longer to
download than an
individual topic. If you have a slower internet connection, you might
consider downloading the
topics
individually. Mac users should also be aware that zipped
files require special software to unzip. Consider downloading
the topics individually to avoid needing to download the software
required to unzip a .zip file on a Mac.
How Do I Unzip My MP3 Files?
Using Windows XP
The built-in extraction utility seen below may not be available in all
versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. Please use extraction
software such as WinZip if this feature is not available on your computer.
After you have downloaded the .zip file containing the mp3(s), simply
double-click the file. A window similar to the one below will pop-up;
from here simply go to File>Extract All (as shown). This will start
the built-in extraction utility.
After choosing ‘Extract All’ (as shown above) an introductory
screen will pop-up; simply click ‘Next’ and a screen similar
to the one shown below will open. Navigate to a location that you wish
to have the file(s) extracted to, or simply leave the default path. Once
the location has been decided, click ‘Next’ to complete the
extraction process.
Using WinZip
If you encounter problems while downloading or installing
WinZip, please visit http://www.winzip.com/xsupport.htm for further help.
If during the installation of WinZip you chose to associate .zip
files with WinZip, you can simply double-click the .zip file and
WinZip will automatically open. Otherwise, open WinZip and click
the ‘Open’ icon to navigate to the location of the
.zip file that was downloaded. Upon selecting the .zip file, you
will see a screen similar to the one shown below.
Once the .zip archive has been opened in WinZip, simply click the ’Extract’ icon. A screen similar to the one below will pop-up; navigate to a location that you wish to have the file(s) extracted to, or simply leave the default path. After you have decided on the location, click the ’Extract’ button to complete the extraction process.
Note: WinZip generally defaults to the My Documents folder; if you wish to extract the files to a different location, make sure you note where the files are being extracted to!
Can I Put MP3s on CDs?
Yes, these (and any other) MP3s can be burned to blank
CDs to be listened to in CD players. This requires a CD drive (“burner”)
capable of recording and the accompanying software. While recording
a CD nowadays is usually as easy as simply dragging and dropping
files, please refer to the recording software’s manual for
any further help on burning a CD. To listen to an MP3 on a CD, your
CD player needs to be able to read MP3 files.
I Have a Mac, Can I Listen to MP3s?
Of course! Much like in a Windows Operating
System environment, a variety of software should be available to
play MP3s. Examples of software known to play MP3s are Real Player
and/or QuickTime.
Please Note: MP3s downloaded from the ICLE website will often
come packaged together in a ZIP archive (.zip). While .zip files are common
in Windows environments, the same is not entirely true for Mac users. While
newer versions of the Mac OS offer support for opening and extracting .zip
files, additional software such as UnZip or Zipit may be required to extract
the MP3 files from the .zip file. Please refer to the links below for additional
information.
Troubleshooting MP3 Downloads
The MP3 Appears to be Playing But I Hear No Sound.
-
Please ensure that your speakers/headphones
are connected properly and powered on.
-
Verify that the computer’s sound card is
properly installed and receiving the connection from the speakers/headphones.
-
Verify that
the computer’s Volume Control (found in the System
Tray/Clock area) is not muted and/or turned down
.
The MP3 Will Not Play.
An MP3 not playing is often the result
of no sound card being present, or the sound card not being properly installed.
To a lesser
degree,
an MP3 not playing could also be a result of no playback software
being installed; although depending on what operating system
the computer
is running there should be some software that is included with
the operating system which can play MP3s (Windows Media Player
on Microsoft
Operating Systems, for example).
The MP3 Skips a Lot When Playing.
This generally happens because the computer does not have enough resources
available to play the MP3 correctly. This normally only happens on
old computer systems, so it could be a sign of bigger problems on newer
systems. Check that no resource-intensive software is currently running
and restart the system if necessary.
