On this page Additional Links: Welcome! We are now offering download options for our online seminars, and soon for our Orin and DaBen audio courses. There are many benefits to downloading an audio course, such as immediate availability to the Orin and DaBen journeys, as well as saving shipping and custom fees for our international customers. Many of you have been downloading audio media for some time now, and have been waiting for this option to be available on all of our Orin and DaBen meditations. For many of you, downloading audio media is a new adventure. As you learn how to download audio media from our site, you will open up the potential for you to enjoy downloading audio media from many other sites as well. We want to make your experience of downloading as easy and enjoyable as possible. If you have never downloaded an audio file before, to download a file means that you copy it from our website and bring it into your own computer, where you can then burn a CD or put the downloaded file onto an MP3 player such as iPod. Listen on your computer speakers Burn CDs Think about getting an Ipod or MP3 player- we highly recommend this option! You can easily plug the iPod type device into any of your existing stereo systems with an inexpensive cord; you can play it through your boom boxes, listen with headphones, and take your entire audio library with you anywhere you go. At the touch of a button you can listen to whatever meditation, lecture, audio books, or music you choose, and change it in a few seconds to something else if you want. For Duane and I, our iPods have become the most important part of our audio equipment. With my iPod, I have been enjoying listening to music and other audio programs I haven't heard for years, as once I loaded all everything into my iPod everything is available and easily to find in just seconds. You can easily search for certain programs, create playlists of your favorite music, and so much more. The sound quality is excellent as well. - Sanaya Our staff is unable to assist you with technical expertise.

Your computer will need to have a sound card and play sound. Please go here for information about Flash, RealOne Player, and the Media Option we offer. Once you have called up your media player, select the files you want to listen to from your folder of downloaded files. If you are not sure where they are, check your Programs folder to locate them. You can always search for the file names. If you want, to create more space on your computer, after you have burned CDs or transferred files to your iPod type device, you can delete them from your computer, or keep them on your computer for a long as you would like.

System Requirements and Download Size Seminar Audio File Downloads - Please note the estimated seminar audio file sizes:
Bit Rates - all of our download audio files have been made available for download in two sizes of files. In order to achieve the smaller file size, the rate at which the audio is produced is at a faster rate, which compromises the quality somewhat. If you have a high speed connection, we strongly suggest downloading the High Quality/Large File. We also recommend that dial-up users download the larger file as well, however we understand that this takes a considerable amount of time, as all downloads do. A rule of thumb is that the High Quality/Large File is 2.8 times larger than the regular download file. As an example, a regular 28 minute journey at the 48 bit rate (regular download) is about 10 MB in size. The same journey at the 128 bit rate (High Quality/Large File) is approximately 28 MB in size. The downloading difference would be as follows: 10 MB on a 56k modem would take approximately 22 minutes to download and a 28 MB files on a 56k modem would take approximately 63 minutes. How long will downloading the file take?
Now that you have downloaded the audio files, if you want to put them on to a CD, you will need a CD burner, and CD burning software such as Nero Burner, Roxio, CD Creator, or any of those on the market. We do not endorse any one product over another. You can burn them as CDs, putting up to 78 minutes of journeys on a file, or as MP3 CDs, putting a whole seminar onto one CD. If you burn MP3 CDs, make sure you have a CD player that plays MP3 CDs. Your CD player will need to play CDRs, and almost all CD players made after 2003 will do so.
Downloading to an iPod type device More Benefits of an iPod type device: Another benefit of an mp3 player is the fact that you can create playlists of your favorite music, or lists of music for different moods, occasions, and times, which you can't easily do with a CD (unless you record your own). You can add/remove audio whenever you want simply by plugging it into your pc and downloading new audio to it. The Process
