How to download and install the MAP for Primary Grades audio files

To download and install the MAP for Primary Grades audio files, follow these steps:

• Download the audio files, saving them into the root folder of your NTE (for example: \\NTE). The audio files are available in our secure Downloads area and require a valid user name and password to access. (For partners that prefer to order media on a CD, select the link to Order Primary Grades Audio Media. Information regarding where the media should be sent will need to be entered. You will receive a confirmation email of your order.)
• The MPGAudioFilesv3.0.exe download is only for use with the MAP for Primary Grades Survey w/ Goals V6 and V7 test series and the Screening and Skills Checklist tests. Delete the Audio folder in your NTE prior to deploying the updated audio package.
• The extracted audio files must be stored in the Audio directory at the root level of each school's NTE where MAP for Primary Grades testing will be done (for example: \\NTE\Audio\). 
• You know you have all the files needed for fall 2011 testing if there are more than 36,200 mp3 files in that directory when you've completed the file extraction process.

In Windows environments:

• Copy the MPGAudioFilesv3.0.exe file into the root folder of your NTE (for example: \\NTE)
• Double-click the MPGAudioFilesv3.0.exe file.
• Accept the default entries, and click Extract. The MPGAudioFilesv3.0.exe file will create a new folder (or use the existing folder) at the root of your NTE called Audio. It will place the MAP for Primary Grades mp3 files in this directory. 

In Macintosh environments:

• Open StuffIt Expander. (StuffIt Expander is a free, third-party extraction utility.)
• Drag the MPGAudioFilesv3.0.exe file on to StuffIt expander.
• Specify your NTE folder as the extraction location. The MPGAudioFilesv3.0.exe file will create a new folder at the root of your NTE called Audio. It will place the MAP for Primary Grades mp3 files in this directory.

Please note: if your district administers MAP with Spanish Audio assessments you will need to locate your MAP with Spanish audio CD and reinstall these files in to the Audio folder at the root of your NTE.  If you have not received the CD containing the Spanish audio files, contact your Partner Relations Representative at 503-624-1951.

Please note: the MPGAudioFilesv3.0.exe file may be saved for populating other NTE folders, or restoring existing NTE folders as needed.
