To listen to the online audio examples, you will need to download an MP3 player to your computer. It is recommended you download Apple’s iTunes or another free media player (like Quick Time Player) that has an indication of time in minutes and seconds.

Get iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Click the MP3 of the song you wish to hear. The song will automatically load into your web browser. Allow it to finish loading. Next, go to the File menu and choose Save Page As… you will then be prompted to save the audio onto your computer’s desktop. This must be done individually for each track.

Once you have downloaded all the tracks, open iTunes and via the File menu, choose Add to Library…

Add the audio to the iTunes playlist from the location you have saved it. You are now able to simultaneously hear the audio and view the track times.
