MPEG Player Piano Music
By Sam Harris

To wait or not to wait -- that is the question.

I love MPEG 3 compression.  It provides CD quality audio at a fraction
of the space.  Still, a 2.5 minute song encoded in CD quality stereo
can take up to 950 kb.  I'm contemplating using mp3 files on my site
upgrade.  My question for everyone is this: are you willing to wait
anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes for a single song to download?  I have
encoded one player roll and you can hear it at:

If you need an MPEG player, WinAmp is the smallest file and can be found
at http://www.winamp.com/ .  If you have never experienced mp3 take the
time to check this file out, and then let me know if you think I'm
wasting my time or not.
