In the spring of 2010, the RUG began to record its monthly general meetings. These audio files are now available for your listening pleasure. Note that their usefulness is greatly enhanced with the accompanying video display seen by those who attend these meetings. In many cases, a PowerPoint presentation also was part of the presentation and they are linked herein to augment the audio recording.
The files available to read or download are either MP3 files (with filename extension .mp3) or streaming audio (with filename extension .m3u).
For MP3 files, you can right-click on the name of the file and then "Save As..." from your browser. Some browsers will allow you to save if you left-click on the name of the file; others will begin downloading and playing the file.
For streaming audio files, you should be able to simply click on the link and it will start downloading and playing. However, you might have to enter the username/password again for the EC directory since it will be downloading and playing from this directory.
Firefox may behave slightly differently.
