The Church of God of Carmichael Media Site

Here you can listen to and download our Gospel messages or music.

If you have any questions, please browse our "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) where you likely will find your answer.

If not, please contact the Sound File Administrator.

At the top of the website is a search box to type in your search. You can include in your search:

• Key words likely to be in the title or description of the sound file
• Name of the speaker or singer
• Date the message or Bible study was delivered (you can supply only a year like 2007 or a month like 11). Note: The data is formatted like mm-dd-yyyy (ex: 11-05-2007) but if all you know is the month you can only put 11, but you may need to include a keyword to limit the number of records returned.
• A key scripture of the message, like: I Cor 13

In addition, while in the "Sound File Directory" if you click into one of the Sections of the Directory, you can also search from there (the search box in the middle of the page) and it will only search that Section that you are in.

When you click on the "Listen Now!" link of a particular sound file it will start playing by the MP3 player software you have on your PC. That same player will typically have in the top left corner a menu option of "File" and under that option will be a "Save As.." option to save the file onto your PC.

If you click on one of the Podcast links, a file will be returned in a format that a "Podcast Feed Reader" recognizes. A "Podcast Feed Reader" can be a special software on a PC, or a mobile devise like the Apple iPod, or a MP3 player. Again when you click on one of the Podcast links (under "Subscribe to a Podcast") a feed file will be generated. But the most important thing to pay attention to is the URL in your browser that is shown at the top - that will look something like the following:

http://www.media.churchofgodcarmichael.org/gospel-music-podcast.feed?type=rss

The way you subscribe to the podcast is by copying that full URL into your "Podcast Feed Reader". Then when new sound files are published under that particular podcast, your "Podcast Feed Reader" will automatically pick it up for you, according to how you have configured your "Podcast Feed Reader" (and how connected it is to the Internet).

For more information on podcasting you can go to the Wikipedia article on "Podcasting".

If you have "clicked" on the link "Listen Now!" and it does not play it is more than likely a problem with how the software on your PC for playing MP3 files is configured. Typical PC software for playing MP3 files are;

- Windows Media Player

- QuickTime Player

There is also free software available for playing MP3 files if you do not already have one installed.
