Listening On Your Computer.

To listen to the audio file on your computer you will need the following hardware and software.

A sound card and speakers for the computer (If your computer has speakers, it should have a sound card.)
An MP3 player (A software application that plays mp3 files such as the “Windows Media Player”. You can download one from the Web if needed.)

If you have recently purchased a new computer, chances are it already has software installed that can play MP3 files. To find out if you already have an MP3 player installed, browse to the downloaded audio file and double-click on it to launch or open the file. If it plays, you are set. If not, you need to download a player, which is very easy to do.

Downloading into iTunes.

If you have iTunes installed on your computer, you can download the Salem audio file into iTunes and either listen using iTunes as your media player or place the file from iTunes on an iPod, if you have one, and listen to the file from your iPod.

Open iTunes

Then click open.
Alternatively, you can drag and drop (release) the file into the iTunes window.

iTunes and iPods will play MP3 files.
