  • Sound Bites

    These sound files have been encoded using the Real Audio encoding system. Although these samples are by no means CD quality, real-audio allows us to shrink the file sizes drastically, making them faster for you to download. (The file sizes are all about 100k or less, which will take about a minute to download on a medium speed modem). In order to play the files you will need a real-audio player version 3 or higher.
