Sermon Companion is a great supplement to an active CD and tape ministry. Sermon Companion provides a way for your church members and visitors to have instant access to your complete library of sermons without having to purchase any CDs or tapes.

Any computer with the ability connect to the internet and run Windows Media Player can be used. This includes both Mac and windows-based computers. Dialup, DSL, or broadband (high-speed) internet connections will all work.

Sermon Companion uses Windows Media Player that is included with the Windows operating system. If you do not already have Windows Media Player installed on your computer, you can download it free from http://www.windowsmediaplayer.com/ .

Any audio file in WMA (Windows Media Audio), MP3 and WAV format can be uploaded into your Sermon Companion account.

Sermon Companion provides an upload status monitor that displays the elapsed time and estimated completion time while the file is being uploaded. Specific upload time varies depending on your internet connection speed and the size of the audio file. For example, a 55 minute sermon with a file size of 50.7 megabytes can be uploaded in 15 minutes using a 256kbit/s upload speed (a typical broadband upload speed). Note that your broadband upload speed is typically slower than the advertised download speed.
