LRC QuickTime Audio

QuickTime Basics

LRC audio files require QuickTime 7. If you do not have the latest version of QuickTime, you should download it from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/.

We recommend that you alter some QuickTime settings so that you don't end up with too many QuickTime Player windows open at once.

  • Under the Edit menu, select Preferences and Player Preferences....
  • Make sure "Open movies in new players" is NOT selected. [Windows users may find that new windows open regardless of this setting.]
  • Select "Automatically play movies when opened"
  • Whether or not you choose to change the settings above, please make sure "Play sound in frontmost player only" is selected.
  • Click "OK".

Troubleshooting

File Stops Playing

Some of the LRC audio files are several megabytes in size. If you are on a slower connection, and especially if you are on a modem, they may take a while to download. If a file stops playing while the progress indicator is in the middle of the file, it may be because the rest of the file has not downloaded yet.

How to tell: The part of the file that has been downloaded is indicated with solid lines in the progress bar. The part of the file that has not yet been downloaded is indicated with dotted lines.

Quicktime partial download

If your file shows dotted lines, your download is incomplete. If it shows only dotted lines to the right of the triangular indicator that shows where you are in the file, there is no more of the file to be played yet.

Quicktime download ends at indicator

Please be patient, and press play when the solid lines indicate that the download has finished.
