There are a number of ways that audio is provided on the internet for you to listen to.
Audio files are large, and therefore take a long time to download.
With a streaming format, a small amount of the audio is downloaded, and then the clip begins to play while the rest is downloaded. For these reasons, we have decided to provide the Rigpa Audio Selections in two formats, WAV and Windows Media Player . WAV files have the advantage that once you download them, the odds are very good that you'll be able to play the selection. However, they do not stream, and so you will have to download the entire large WAV file in order to be able to play it later. Windows Media Player is free software distributed by Microsoft that supports streaming.
