We have signed up for this wonderful link for quite a few years and we have oodles of MP3 files ready to play on our computer. This week it is the Adventures of Tom Sawyer! Our dear children love this Tuesday treat! Nothing like a little ADVENTURE for a summery afternoon! Often times there are great little "extras"…links for more background information about the show of the week.
These look wonderful! What do you download to when it prompts you with ’save target as’ in order to then play the stories from your computer????? I’ve never downloaded music or the like before and have no idea what to do!
I have a file on my desktop that I save to. When it prompts “save target as”…I make sure when the window opens up that I have desktop selected and then click on the folder that I have labeled “living books for the ears”. Once I open that, I hit save and it begins to download. I hope this is clear…if not, just say the word and I will try to help you!!
Have a good day Erica!
Wow! Thanks for the reminder of this wonderful program! What better time to listen than a super hot summer afternoon?
…Add in some cool fresh fruit and some fruity iced tea and you have a hot afternoon here!
