Help! with This Week's Service 

And definitions of words like "bandwidth"

I'm confused.  What do you mean by "high" and "low" bandwidth?

Bandwidth refers to how quickly data can be delivered to your computer.  If you are accessing the internet via a cable, DSL, or satellite connection you are a high bandwidth surfer and can access the high bandwidth Worship Service stream.  If you connect to the internet via a modem you are considered a low bandwidth user (not that there's anything wrong with that).  You can still access the high bandwidth stream, but it will take longer buffer/download.

Buffer?

The SSUMC Worship Service is a large file (some 70 megabytes).  To speed delivery, Windows Media Audio will download a portion of the service to your computer before it allows you to start playing the file.  When Windows Media tells you that the service is 100% buffered it means that enough of the file has been downloaded to your computer that you can start listening to the service.  While you are listening to the service, Windows Media will keep downloading the audio file to your computer.  This is called streaming: the program plays the file at the same time it is being downloaded.

I'm not sure what type of internet connection I have.

Do you have a son or daughter you could ask?  Other people who might be able to help include grandchildren and the personnel at your internet service provider.  Either way, nothing bad will happen if you choose the "wrong" bandwidth.  Try to use our high bandwidth stream first.  If you feel like it's taking forever for the file to buffer just go back and click the low bandwidth stream instead.

Can I save the Worship Service to my computer?

No.  Do you really want to?  If so, have you thought about increasing your weekly tithe? 

Nothing is working!  What's wrong?

Microsoft tends to be slightly territorial when it comes to their software and they don't always make the best effort to support non-Microsoft platforms.  It's possible that you are using a Macintosh computer, a Mozilla or Opera browser, or some other competing platform.

This seems odd to me, why don't you make a better effort to support non-Microsoft platforms?
