Tips
Virtually all the reports on RadioSpace™ are available in MP3 (both at 48 kbps and 96 kbps mono, with sampling at 44.1 kHz).
For the best audio quality, you may want to first save MP3 files to a specified local or network location (most easily done with a right-click) and then play them back with an audio player or editor. However, the files can be played over the Internet using most browsers, including Netscape Navigator, Opera or Microsoft Internet Explorer. (Still, you may need to first configure your browser to do so.)
If you want to edit an audio file (after downloading it, of course), try one of these recommended editor programs for Windows®: GoldWave; Sound Forge from Sony Media Software (formerly from Sonic Foundry); or Adobe® Audition™ (the successor to Cool Edit from Syntrillium Software). (You can obviously use other editors, including those for Macintosh.) Since the use of our reports is unrestricted, you can edit them as you like!
If your computer doesn't already support MP3, you may need to download a special decoder or codec; the good news is, once you install a program that includes the decoder or codec, your other audio programs (players and editors) should be able to at least play back raw MP3 files. (Many editors can also open raw MP3 files, although you may still need to download a codec independently to do so; if your editor cannot open raw MP3 files, you can use a program like the Audioactive MP3 Decoder from Telos Systems to first decompress the MP3 file into a separate, uncompressed Wave file.) If you have Microsoft Windows Media, Apple QuickTime or RealPlayer in virtually any form, you should already have at least the decoder; also, you may want to install a dedicated MP3 player, such as (recommended most highly) Winamp from Nullsoft/AOL.
