About our MP3's

$\"Subcribers$

Most of the shows in the subscriber area are encoded in MP3 format. We use the MP3 format because it enables us to provide you with high quality audio with a reasonable download time. To take advantage of the MP3's in our subscriber area, you need a program capable of MP3 playback. All operating systems have MP3 players available to them (please see links at right). If you are unsure if your computer has MP3 playback capability, or if you are planning on using our MP3's with a portable MP3 player, download our free, sample MP3 on the right side of the screen.

Although many different kinds of audio playback software, such as Windows Media Player or Real Networks RealOne player, can play MP3 files, we recommend you download a dedicated MP3 player for your computer. Most MP3 players are completely free and will work better and with less hassle than other kinds of audio software. For more information about the MP3 format, including links to MP3 related software, please visit http://www.mp3.com. The links the right are not exhaustive, merely suggestions.

Uses of MP3 Files

MP3 files may be copied to MP3 players that have enough memory or hard disk space. They may then be played anywhere you can take your MP3 player. They may also be burned onto a read-writeable CD, if you have the proper disk drive and burning software in your computer. You can burn two or more Dreamlands in MP3 format onto a CD. These CDs can be played in any CD player that is able to play MP3 files. In general, a CD player that can play MP3 files will say so on the case. Older CD players do not have this capability. Many modern stereos and DVD players can play MP3 disks.

If you wish to play Dreamland in your car, and your car's CD will not play MP3 files, you can get a dongle such as an Irock that broadcasts your MP3 player's or MP3-capable portable CD player's output onto any nearby FM radio. You can purchase an Irock from Radio Shack for $25-$35.
