When you have logged onto your Out of the Ark Music online account to access your songs, you will be given the option either to Stream Online or Download Player. Here’s a simple explanation to help you work out which one is for you:
Why 'Stream Online'?
This function gives you the flexibility to log in and access your songs anywhere, provided you have an internet connection. When you stream your songs, every song you have purchased will be visible and playable from the streaming player that opens in your web browser.
Why 'Download Player'?
If you have an unreliable or slow internet connection, it’s better to download a Words on Screen™ player. This will enable you to have complete access to your songs at any time without the need for internet connection once the download has completed. (You will of course need an internet connection initially to download the player and your songs. You could do this at home or in another part of the school with a better connection.) Once the player is downloaded, each song must be downloaded separately by clicking on the cloud icon next to each song title in the library view. If you’ve purchased an eSongbook and want to download the entire product including its additional features, we recommend clicking 'Download eSongbook' so that all songs and book resources download together.

Please note: the player and songs you have downloaded will only be available on the device you have downloaded them to.
