MP3 Music files
are a compressed format ( smaller in size than the original ) allowing faster
streaming
and downloading.
Using "Low-Fi Play will be faster however there is a sacrifice in audio
quality.
Using "Hi_Fi Play" will take longer and gives you the best audio quality,
however it is still not as good as the audio quality on the CD.
All samples are only excerpts for the full length songs.
When
you click on the link to the samples ( after a breif pause...depending on
your connection speed )
your default MP3 player should open and begin downloading the music, which will
begin to play when
enough of the file has downloaded to make it possible to hear the whole sample
without interruption.
If
you experience problems with "streaming" the files, i.e. playing
them without downloading them,
then you can "right click" on the link to the sample and choose
the option "Save File As"
( or whatever seems similar...depending on your browser and platform ) to download
the file to your computer
to allow you to listen to it in full, without stopping.
If you still experience problems the I suggest you:
Click
here to download the latest version of Windows Media Player.
