Here's something that is really starting to get me down, and maybe someone can explain to me where I am going wrong. This was triggered by the French pronunciation discussion, but also by my problems during the brief moments a few weeks ago when I had (relatively) high speed service.
-
When I click on one of the speaker-icons in pages obtained in the French discussion, I get into a gigantic mess where there is a formal download, mp3 file creations, bringing up XP's Media Player, and a whole lot of other bull-pucky before I can listen to the sound-sample, by which time I don't even remember which icon I punched. Isn't there supposed to be some way to simply hit the icon and hear the sound, just like when I have a language program running on my own system and click the "listen" icon?
-
Similarly, I never succeeded in getting any music to simply "arrive" on my speakers while I was on high-speed. I have often read remarks (including by Garooob) that indicate that people are enjoying sound (music) streaming steadily to their terminal while they were busy doing other stuff on the 'net. Heck, people listen to internet "radio" by the hour from what I understand. I've never found any way to listen to sounds from the internet without first DOWNLOADING it to my disc and then playing it myself.
-
Boo-hoo. Is there something I don't know, or don't have, that prevents me from receiving streaming sounds (even brief sound effects) from the net without bloody downloading them before I can hear them. I know I can't get constant stuff through my dial-up, but why couldn't I get it to work when I had high-speed, and why don't these simple, brief pronunciation files arrive without a federal case?

Thanks for any
help offered....
