The new Flash-based MP3 player software is part of this web page. If you go to another web page, its gone. To listen to a show and look at other web pages, you'll need to open either a new tab or a new browser window. Then too, you can not use the player and instead download most shows to your computer where you can play them with any audio software.

When you first click on the Play button:

• The show should start playing almost immediately
• The Play button moves to the right and changes into a Pause button, with two vertical lines (see the screen shot below). You can use it to pause playback at any time.
• The show downloads in the background at a speed that depends on the speed of your Internet connection. You can see this as a gray stripe that moves from left to right. In the picture below, about half of the show has downloaded. When the horizontal line changes from white to light gray, the show has fully downloaded to your computer. It continues to play during the dowload process.

While the show is playing:

• You can drag the dark gray section of the slider left and right to move forward and backward within the show.
• The elapsed time is displayed on the far right at hh:mm:ss. In the picture above, the show has been playing for 10 seconds.

The player does not show the total time of the show and does not offer a volume control.
