Thanks to everyone who filled out our soundfile questionaire. Respondents overwhelmingly favored CD-quality, downloadable MP3 files, so we'll stick with the format we have and keep adding to them.

If you don't have an MP3 player, we recommend RealJukebox for PCs and SoundApp or Quicktime for Macs -- all are free and relatively simple to use (just make sure that your browser is set to recognize them -- click here if you have trouble). Note that we can't provide support on the players, so if you have problems we suggest you contact the vendors directly and/or visit a more comprehensive MP3 site, like http://www.mp3.com.
