Sound Clips

Guild Music's Web Site carries music samples to delight you.
For the moment there are to different technologies used,
for some MPEG3 and for some MPEG2.

MPEG3
MP3 are the latest method of Internet sound compression available today. If you have a new computer chances are that you already have an MP3 player installed. If not (or even if you do), there are MP3 players that are available as shareware or freeware. You can visit their sites for download, registration, and user information. The most popular of these is WinAmp™, available at http://www.winamp.com/. The file's name that you will be downloading is: winamp209.exe.  Before downloading, please, notice where you are downloading it to. After downloading, find it, and double-click on it. It will guide you in the installation process. The setup program will ask which file-type you would like WinAmp to be associated with?  choose all.   Then click OK. Next, when double-clicking on the MP3 icon, an applet will open and ask if  "to save the file to disc?" or "open it ?" choose open. You should be able to hear the music after a short wait. This procedure has to be done only once, and then you will be able to enjoy the superior technology of MP3 whenever you feel the need to hear music.

MPEG2
Guild Music's Web Site now carries music samples to delight you. Using MPEG2 technology, compatible with many Web Browsers, you can sample Guild Music CD tracks through Guild Music's World Wide Web pages. Samples are simply accessed from the catalogue pages.
You need to have a computer which has an audio card connected to your audio system. Users of the Microsoft Explorer Browser can play MPEG mp2 audio files without any further software. Other Browsers may need to be associated with an MPEG 1 Layer 2 player, which can be downloaded from several Web sites free of charge including one from Philips noted on the MPEG organisation's site.
