• "Listen..." has MP3 files. The sound is better but they take a long time to load. If you have a dial-up server, select the "Quick Midi" files for an immediate listen 
• Both types may be downloaded for burning CDs (mp3) or for saving on a floppy disk (Midi) for computer/digital piano playback.
• If your media player is in full mode (takes up the whole screen), minimize it to skin mode or compact so that you can read the text while you listen.
