> There are 3 major audio formats on the web that will do what you are

> 
> MP3 -	Benefits - Offers high quality, highly compressed audio. Software is
> cheap or free.  
> 	Drawbacks - End user needs an mp3 player to listen. MP3 popularity
> is spreading like wildfire, so more and more users have players, but it is
> not supported natively in browsers prior to 5.x
> 	Software - 	Winamp to Listen (http://www.winamp.com)
> 			MusicMatch to record (http://MusicMatch.com)
> 		or	AudioCatalyst to record (http://AudioCatalyst.com)
> 
> WAV - Benefits - Natively supported in nearly all browsers and OS's, good
> sound quality, Software is likely already on your machine.
> 	Drawbacks - Uncompressed audio means large files to download
> 	Software - 	Winamp to Listen AND Record
> 
> RealAudio - 	Benefits - Streaming, highly compressed audio.  Wide
> distribution base
> 		Drawbacks - poor sound quality; software is expensive
> 		Software - RealAudio  (http://www.real.com)
> 
> Most of the major commercial websites that I've seen lately (CDNOW,
> Amazon.com, etc...) offer links to both mp3 and wav versions of each
> sound.
