Which link should I use to get my file?
That depends on the size and quality you want. Our links use the following types of abbreviations:
rm-32 - RealMedia, 32 kbps: high quality, large file size
rm-16 - RealMedia, 16 kbps: medium quality, medium file size
rm-8 - RealMedia, 8.5 kbps: low quality, small file size
mp3-32 - MP3, 32 kbps: high quality, large file size
mp3-16 - MP3, 16 kbps: medium quality, medium file size
mp3-8 - MP3, 8 kbps: low quality, small file size
How do I download audio files?
For most web browsers, right clicking on the link provides the option to download the target file.
How do I play downloaded audio files?
To hear RealMedia recordings, you need the free plug-in
RealPlayer. Almost any free media player will play MP3 recordings, including
Windows Media Player
and Quick Time Media Player.
Why do you use such low bit rates?
Low kbps rates provide sufficient quality to hear our recordings, and keep file sizes small. This is important to those whose internet access is slow and/or unreliable, including most people in underdeveloped nations.
