WCPPC Audio Information
Posted by West Coast Pastors on May 7, 2009 in Conference Info | 0 comments
Friends, I’d like to pass along some information regarding the Audio of our WCPPC Conferences.
AUDIO ON THE WEBSITE:
If you head over to the website, there is now a link called “Audio.” We will be posting past WCPPC Conference Sessions (usually requested ones) which will be available to listen to only in the website. If you would like a hard-copy of the talks, you will still need to order them through the Mount Hermon audio department. Their information is posted on the Audio page. I am told that there are shortcuts around this process, where one could illegally capture the sound file and burn their own disc – but Christians wouldn’t do such things, would they? At any rate, from Mount Hermon’s perspective, if someone is desperate enough to do such a thing, they probably desperately need to hear what’s on those cd’s and be moved to repentance.
USING THE AUDIO ON THE WEBSITE:
1) Listening – you can listen to the audio in the audio page, or even click on individual titles to a more detailed, individual audio description page. Click play to listen. Pausing the audio will keep your current place and you can resume at any time after the pause. Note: if you navigate away from this page, your place will be lost, so open multiple windows. You do not always have to start at the beginning every time, however. You can manually move the status bar to any point on the audio spectrum, effectively become a fast-forward or rewind. Allow time for the audio to load.
2) Individual Pages – the software used for the audio is meant for sermons. I’ll make adjustments to them in the future when they become available. As it is now, the biblical text available for the individual session page is in the ESV version. When other versions become available, we can use them. Not all talks have biblical texts associated with them yet. But, as it is, you can listen to the text read to you if you’d rather not read it!
3) Search – on the main page, clicking on the “show filter” link will allow you to see the speakers, series, and dates. You can click on any speaker, or series, etc. and all of the talks under such a designation will be filtered for you below. Again, adjustments will be made in the future to the filter so that you don’t read “Preacher” or “Sermon.”
MOUNT HERMON
Again, the availability of these talks are given by the gracious permission of Mount Hermon. We still encourage you to purchase CD sets for individual use this year and in subsequent years. But the posted audio is available so that pastors can continue to have access to great biblical teaching at any time they’re in front of a computer, particularly great material that is effectively buried in a sound-vault. Enjoy listening – and tell your friends. But if you want it in your iTunes or in your car – order the discs.
Thanks
