Next to some of the listed music tracks there is symbol    By clicking on this symbol you should be able to hear a short excerpt from that music track. Note: The 'mono' quality of the music is not as good as the broadcast stereo quality you will hear on the actual discs.

In order to hear this music you will need Microsoft Media Player software on your computer. This software enables your computer to 'decode' the music signal as it transfers from this website to your computer, and replay it over your loudspeakers. Some newer computers have this software installed when you buy them, otherwise you have to download it, free of charge, from the Microsoft website on the Internet. Once you have downloaded it, you can use the software to listen to music on other websites, and also short video 'clips', so it is useful to have. It will not interfere with, or corrupt your computer in any way. 

This software takes about 30/40 mins to download on a 56K modem (a lot faster if you have broadband) which is a nuisance, but it will enable you to listen to, and view a wide range of audio and video website information.

After you click on proceed below, the Microsoft Windows Media Player website will appear - go to the free download button and click on it. The software should start to download onto your computer. It will 'park' itself , probably on your desktop - file currently called MP71.  After it has downloaded, click on the MP71 icon so that the software installs itself on your computer. After all this procedure (it's worth it in the long term!) go back to the website music track listing and click on the to hear the music. The music will then take about 30 secs to one minute to download on a 56K modem, in 'chunks' of a few seconds, on the first occasion. After it has downloaded once, it will then replay at normal speed whenever you need to listen to it again. With broadband, it will download in 'real time' i.e. it should download faster than the music plays, so there will be no interruption to the music playing speed.
