Some readers reported problems trying to play the recordings of the
Debain Harmonium and Antiphonel presented at

Apparently certain web browsers using the QuickTime plug-in,
including Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari, have trouble buffering
the data.  However, Microsoft Internet Explorer under Windows XP
(and probably also Windows 7) works okay with QuickTime to reproduce
the MP3 audio files.

Alternatively, the audio files can be downloaded to the desktop or
a local folder, then you launch a music player and use its "Open..."
command to locate and open the MP3 file for playing.

"MP3" is the DOS file extension for audio data transmitted using MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3 encoding, ref. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3 

Programs for playing MP3 files include Windows Media Player from
Microsoft, Nullsoft Winamp (http://www.winamp.com/), Winplay3 by
Fraunhofer Institute IIS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinPlay3)
and Telos Audioactive Player 1.93b available from
http://www.sonicspot.com/audioactiveplayer/audioactiveplayer.html 

MPEG audio compression was originally developed for radio studios to
send good quality audio signals over poor quality telephone circuits,
and it was soon extended to transmitting audio over the Internet.

For example, MMDer Dave Krall enjoys listening to recordings of 1920s
pop music via his web browser and the Internet from "Radio Dismuke" at
