Hello Again To All;
We want to say a few words here concerning the audio quality of the messages on the Voices For Christ site.Every mp3 message gets individual attention whether it is manufactured from a cassette recording or a reel to reel tape,or in some cases an already existing mp3 or audio type file.(In speaking of audio in general,there are the condensed type known as “mp3″,and there are the normal or un-condensed type usually known as “audio” files.)
The mp3 type are playable on almost all computers,and also via a vast number of mp3 players such as iPods and others,plus cd & dvd players.The “audio” type files are larger in size,and hence not used here.They do have one special merit in their favor…….they are playable on more or less all cd players,even the older ones found in automobiles.Software can be found on the internet which can convert mp3 to the audio file format.This might be desired as for example wanting to play Voices For Christ messages in your vehicle which only has the older type cd player.
Your options would be to find and install the software and then “convert” the mp3 files to audio yourself,or purchase an mp3 player and use it everywhere,even in the automobile.
Okay,back to the subject of audio quality itself………every potential message does get it’s own attention as to the removal of hum,buzzes and long blank spaces if they exist.There are occasions where a message will end prematurely…….this in almost all cases is due to the original tape running out of space prior to the speaker’s last amen In other words the tape might have had 45 minutes of usuable time,but the speaker kept going. (and don’t we all ?)
We just have to be excited as to all the capabilities there are these days in sharing ministry sometimes given half a century ago.The former time and effort put forth by God’s chosen vessels can be preserved and shared by young and old alike,regardless of the hearers location.
That is perhaps the primary reason we stay continually interested in locating and sharing them.
As always,feel free to contact either myself

Until next time…….The VFC Team
