Archives of Audio Content
Welcome to Buford Presbyterian Church's sermon recording site. Below you will find links to digital audio files of recent services. These recordings are not meant to, and should not, replace faithful attendance and participation in a local church!
Podcasts
From your PC, you can subscribe to receive the latest audio as it is posted to listen on either your computer or portable audio player. To do this, you'll need a software program for your PC that can manage your Podcast subscriptions and automatically download the most current audio. We recommend iTunes from Apple (version 4.9 or higher includes Podcast support). You do not need to have an iPod in order to make use of the Podcasting feature.
You can simply enter "Buford Presbyterian Church" in the Search Box of the iTunes Store to find our podcast and automatically subscribe.
To manually subscribe to our sermons:
Step 1: Open iTunes. When you install iTunes on a Windows PC it creates a new icon on your desktop, but if you can't find it click your Start button > All Programs > iTunes. It should be there.
Step 2: Open the "Advanced" dropdown menu.
Step 3: Click "Subscribe to Podcast…" and a small window will open.
Step 4: Type http://www.bufordpresbyterian.net/Audio/dircaster.php and click OK. You should now see "Buford Presbyterian Church" channel in the Podcasts section of iTunes with the available sermons underneath. When a new sermon is released, iTunes can download it automatically.

MP3 Files
To listen to one of the sermons as an MP3 file, you simply need to click on the desired link. This should launch a media player on your PC that will automatically play the selected audio.
The Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer are usually able to begin playing MP3 files after a short initial pause if your data link is sufficiently fast. If, however, you using an older computer and are experiencing difficulties (or simply want to save the file on your computer), you may right click on the desired link and choose "Save Target As…". This will allow you to download the audio file all at once and then play it from your local disk. You can also specify the download location of the file instead of the default download directory (e.g. "My Music").
If you do not currently have a program capable of playing MP3's installed on your PC, you might consider downloading Windows Media Player or Real Player.

Technical Help
Streaming vs. Downloading
When you "stream" an audio file, you listen to the audio as it is downloading to
your computer. This means that you will begin hearing the audio almost
immediately after clicking the "Stream" the button. Note: very slow Internet
connections may not be able to stream the audio continuously... in these cases,
it is best to download the entire file before listening. The audio player
used on this web page requires Adobe flash player to operate. If you do not have
it installed in your browser, you can download it
here.
In contrast, "downloading" a file forces you to save the entire file to your
system before listening to it. This means you'll have to wait longer to hear the
file... but the upside is that you will have the file stored on your system for
other uses (such as burning it to cd, keeping in your own library, etc).
Both methods serve a particular purpose... if you simply want to hear the audio
file once and right away, streaming is the way to go. If, however, you may want
to listen to the file again (perhaps offline) you should download it.
If you have problems that you can not resolve, you can contact the webmaster for advice.
