To use RealAudio, you should have a 28.8 K-bps (kilobits per second) or faster Internet connection for your computer. Note: RealAudio upgrades its players for improved performance.

| MP3 Recordings The sound recordings are also offered in the MPEG 2, Layer 3 (MP3) format. MP3 offers high quality sound that comes close to the quality of WaveForm at greatly reduced file size. MP3 files download much faster than .wav files. Many popular audio players can play MP3 files. Note: Some audio players that are not specifically designed to play MP3 files do not display the bibliographic information that resides in the ID3 v.2 tag of the .mp3 file. |
