A note about listening to or watching media files on the internet:
| Windows Media Player comes with the Windows operating system and | |
| can play most media files. |
| Download the latest (free) version of Windows Media Player |
| RealMedia files cannot be played in Windows Media Player. You can | |
| download the free RealPlayer to play these files but RealNetworks will try to persuade you to buy a version with more features. |
| Download the free RealPlayer , if you want it. |
| QuickTime can be played with the free Quicktime Player: you don't need to | |
| buy the QuickTime Pro Player. |
| Down load the free QuickTime Player. |
| Our favorite Media Player is the free JetAudio Basic. JetAudio Basic can | |
| play all of the major media file types, including MP3, Windows Media, RealMedia and QuickTime. If you want only one player, we highly recommend JetAudio Basic. |
| Download the free JetAudio Basic |
| You will also need the free Adobe Flash Player browser plug-in to view | |
| some media files and the free Adobe Shockwave Player |
