About audio files

MP3 is a digital music/audio format which allows CD tracks to be reduced to around a tenth of their normal size without a significant loss of quality.This means that for the first time it's become practical to make audio available for download over the internet as download times have been drastically cut.

MP3 strips out a lot of the information recorded in audio that our ears aren't able to hear and uses complicated maths to reduce the file size.

Audio files on this website should play automatically on your computer, if you are having problems, MP3s can be played using programs like:

• Quicktime,
• iTunes,
• RealOne,
• WinAmp or
• Windows Media Player
