How to listen to an audio sample?

This is quite easy: there is a full description page for each CD. From this CD description page, on which you find the large jacket picture and the sound tracks list, you just click either on "WAV Sound" or "MP3 Sound" in front of the desired track.
To know more on the audio samples that we are proposing,

Example:

The Crimson Collection

crimson.wav (200..300kB)crimson.wav (200..300kB)

crimson.mp3 (200..300kB)crimson.mp3 (200..300kB)

Note that these two files have identical sound quality. In both cases, your Internet browser (navigator) should autmatically launch a "Player" which shall start to play the sample after a downloading of about a minute (this time depends on the speed of your Internet connection). In case your browser promts you about saving the file to disk or opening it, choose "opening". The most recent players allow to start playing the sound sample while downloading it! As soon as about 25% of the file has been downloaded, you can safely start playing it back. If this does not work, try with the other format (.WAV or .MP3).

However, some players start to play the sample almost immediately, and if you do not have a fast internet access, this may lead to a "hashed sound". In this case, put the player in "PAUSE" and give it enough time to accumulate more downloaded data, then put it back in play mode again.

In case it does not work with none of theses two files, it means that your system needs an update to be able to play sound files on the Internet. We advise you to choose between one of these three "Players" (all are free of charge!).
