Voice Crystal - Audio Sound Tools
Several browsers have built-in-player or Plug-in support for the AU and
Real Audio sound file format provided on our site, including Netscape for
PC & Mac, however, you will need a program to play or convert our free
Mpeg (.mp2) "Full Version" samples.
Also, for Windows users, you can extract samples digitally from our audio
CD's with the free Digital Domain software.

Real
Player from Progressive
Networks will allow you to listen to the Real Audio files on this
site. We encode them at 32khz stereo which results in a 20:1 compression
ratio while maintaining a decent playback quality.

CoolEdit96
from Syntrillium Software is an
exceptional Win3.1 & Win95 tool for all types of audio manipulation and
conversion. It's a full-featured player/editor/converter and will provide
you with tools to loop the samples, as well as saving them into essentially
every format available, including AU and
Mpeg.
When downloading it, be sure to download the "MPEG Filters for use with Cool
Edit:" plug-in filters at the bottom of the Cooledit page.
It can also be setup as a helper app in Netscape so that it will automatically
pop-up and decode our Mpeg samples when you click on them.
