The file format used here is not remotely near CD-quality, and none of these clips constitutes a complete song. These sound files are intended merely as examples for illustration and instruction and study -- and also to stimulate interest in purchasing the actual recordings. I do not have MP3s of any tracks, and I will not produce them under any circumstances. All requests for any such attempts to deprive Chris and his peers of their royalties will be strenuously ignored.
