1. I can't get any of the interviews to play - what should I do?

The easiest way to listen is to simply click on the "play" button to the left of the interview date. You'll need to have Macromedia Flash installed (a free program). Alternatively, you'll need to have some type of streaming media player installed on your computer to listen to the interviews. It normally comes with Windows (Windows Media Player) or Mac OS (Quicktime), but if you don't seem to have it, you can download either for free. We also like a great free player called Winamp.

	= play in Windows Media player
	= play in RealPlayer
	= play mp3 stream
	= direct link to mp3 file for download

Some listeners are reporting that when using Internet Explorer if they have Winamp set as their default player, they are not able to listen using the "Play Windows Media" link. You can fix the problem by going to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs>Set Program Access & Defaults>Custom - click on the two down arrows on the right side and under "Choose a default media player" select the Windows Media Player radio button. This seems to fix the issue.

You can also download the file to your iPod or other mp3 player following the directions in FAQ number 2.

2. When I click on the button or the "Download mp3" text link nothing happens - or it starts playing the interview instead of downloading it. How do I download the interview?"

a) Right click on the button or "Download mp3" text link

b) Click on "Save Target As..."

c) You will then see a "Save as" box. Click "Save" and be sure to note where it is saving to so you can retrieve the file after it is downloaded.

3. What is this RSS link and what is Podcasting?

For those of you who use a news aggregator or a MyYahoo personalized page, you can be notified automatically each time a new program or interview is added to Trader Interviews. In fact, you can use a program to download each interview to your mp3 player automatically so it is there ready for you to listen to anytime you're ready. Using RSS is a bit more complicated than I can explain here, but here is a link to some great explanations about podcasts and RSS.
