Why is it taking a long time to download our sample?

When listening to any music, the value of your listening experience is dependent on the quality of the sound recording you are hearing. We want you to get the most benefit from using our music.

Typically, music downloads offered on the internet are available in a file format known as MP3 compression. MP3 'compression' does what it says - it compresses or reduces the quality of ANY recording you download from the web by extracting only a percentage of the sound information contained within the full recording.

MP3 provides faster downloads over your internet connection but the "price" you pay for fast download speeds is a reduction in the sound quality of the music you download in this format.

Our bodies respond to a wide range of frequencies in the sound spectrum. We hear from as low as 20 Hz to as high as 20,000 Hz in our audible range. So when you only listen to MP3 music files, you are reducing the range of frequencies your system can benefit from, if you use MP3 on a regular or exclusive basis.
