The audio samples on this website do not reflect the quality of the audio that you will receive on our CD's. These audio samples are highly compressed for online purposes, which greatly effects the quality of the audio sample.
We offer all audio samples in three different audio formats as well as streaming and downloadable versions. Although it will take the longest, we suggest that you download the MP3 format for the best audio sample quality. If you are in a hurry, try streaming or downloading the Real Audio or Windows Media Player formats.
I don't need instructions, take me to the audio samples!
You may listen to an audio sample in the following two ways.
1.) Streaming audio sample - Instructions
2.) Downloading audio sample - Instructions
Streaming audio samples may allow you to listen to the audio sample more quickly than downloading it and then listening. However, streaming stereo audio requires a very fast internet connection. If you don't have a very fast connection to the internet, streaming an audio sample may end up taking longer than downloading one. Also, you may experience audio interruptions while listening to a streaming audio sample. This is why we suggest that it would be best for most users to download the MP3 format rather than streaming it. If you want to listen to the audio samples by streaming audio, LEFT CLICK ONCE on the "streaming" link (located under each song title) for the audio format that you desire. Once you click on a "streaming" link, you may be prompted to save or open the file. If you are prompted, choose open. After streaming a sample, you will need to exit the audio program that played the sample. After exiting the audio program, you may be left with a blank web browser page. If this occurs, simply use your web browsers BACK [ < ] button to return to this page. If you need additional help, feel free to contact us.
Downloading audio samples allow you to play the sample over and over without having to stream it or download it again. The drawback is that if you have a fast internet connection, it may take a little longer to actually start listening to the sample than it would with streaming an audio sample. It also requires downloading a file (the audio sample) to your computer and then clicking on the file to play it. If you want to download an audio sample, RIGHT CLICK ONCE on the "download" link (located under each song title) for the audio format of your choice. Once you left click, you will notice a menu that comes up. Depending on the browser you are using, you will choose either SAVE TARGET AS or SAVE LINK AS, etc. Once you have chosen to save the file, you will be prompted to choose the filename and folder where you want to save it. You may leave the name of the file as it appears, but remember the folder you choose because you will need to open that folder once the file has been downloaded. Once the file has begun downloading, you should see a progress bar showing the downloads completion. Once the download has completed, open the folder that you chose to save the file in and then locate the filename (if you did not change it, it will be the song title you chose to download). Once you locate the file, click on it as you would any other file that you would want to open and it should begin playing. If you need additional assistance, feel free to contact us.
