The 'feed' is designed for weekly downloading, so you do not have to connect your player and download every day. Every Wednesday, the files for the following Monday to Friday will be added, giving you four days to download next week's prayer all in one go.

Pray-as-you-go is a daily prayer session, designed for use on portable MP3 players, to help you pray whilst travelling to and from work, study, etc.
|
 see the format
|
|
|
A new prayer session is produced every day. It is not a 'Thought for the Day', a sermon or a bible-study, but rather a framework for your own prayer.
Lasting between ten and thirteen minutes, it combines music, scripture and some questions for reflection. The aim is to help you to:
 become more aware of God's presence in your life
listen to and reflect on God's word
grow in your relationship with God.
It is produced by Jesuit Media Initiatives, with material written by a number of British Jesuits and other experts in the spirituality of St Ignatius of Loyola.
Although the content is different every day, it keeps to the same basic format. >>

Pray-as-you-go can be downloaded free from this website in either MP3 or WMA (Windows Media Audio) format. The WMA files are slightly smaller but saved at a lower quality.
You can download one day at a time, or one week at a time. You need to have a broadband connection as the files are quite large (the MP3s are about 8MB and the WMAs about 5MB).
To download a file, right-click on the date (click and hold for Mac users), select "Save Target As" (or "Download link to disk" on a Mac) and choose the folder on your computer where you want to save it.
If you download an entire week in a ZIP folder, you then need to unpack the files ("unzip" it). On Windows systems, this is done by right-clicking on the ZIP file and selecting "Extract All".
Then you can connect your MP3 player to your computer and transfer the MP3 or WMA files, just as you would for any other files.
