| First, download an MPEG audio player: Windows
- (Note: the ActiveMovie Control that comes with Microsoft Internet Explorer has
MPEG audio support built in. Users of other browsers, however, may need to follow
these instructions)
-
- Click here to download XingSound MPEG Audio Player. Create a new directory, copy mpgaudio.exe to the new directory
and run it --- it is a self-extracting archive.
- If you have any problems with XingSound, MAPLAY is a simple public-domain audio player for
Windows 95 and NT that also works well.
-
- Macintosh
- Click here to download MPEG CD 2.0.5
from Kauai Media.
-
- Unix
- Click here to download source maplay_tar.z or access IUMA's FTP site
for compiled version for several workstations.
Next, set up your web browser to run the player whenever you click on an MPEG
audio file. For most Windows and Mac browsers, the procedure is something like this:
- From the Options menu, select "Preferences"
- Select the Helper Applications preference page
- Click on the button labeled "New..."
- In the box labeled "Mime Type:", enter "audio" (without the
quotes of course...)
- In the box labeled "Mime Sub Type:", enter "x-mpeg" and then
click "OK"
- Back in the Helper Applications page, enter "mp2" in the box labeled
"Extensions:"
- In the Action portion of the page, select Launch and enter xing_ply.exe
(for Windows, MPEG/CD for Mac) as the application to launch (with the full path
name)
