Where’s the Audio?

 

This is WTB?’s archived audio interviews.  They are here in streaming Quicktime format.  What you need is a 56K modem and the Quicktime Player.  I have kept file sizes small and hence the quality is low, but no music, just people talking so…   The more room I have, the more audio you will hear. 

 

Later entries are in mp3 and aac format. They are a little better then what was once here although they are still relatively low quality, but you can open or download these using a variety of different applications.   Quicktime is still the most reliable.
