If you are having trouble listening to RealAudio or MP3, read through these tips:

Downloading free player software
RealAudio
MP3.COM

RealAudio

The RealAudio links require RealPlayer (available for free).  These files are hosted on our site, so it will usually work, or fail completely.

MP3

The links to MP3.COM go to our artist page, which is not part of this site.  You will need to use the 'back' button to return to the pachyderm party web. MP3.COM creates this page for us, so we don't have that much control over how it looks, or works. The mp3 files can be played with any mp3 player, such as WinAmp, MusicMatch, or RealPlayer.

If you experiencing choppy sound when playing files from MP3.COM, try clicking on the 'lo-fi play' buttons (MP3.COM recommends this for modem connections).

Downloading free player software

RealPlayer 7

Plays RealAudio and MP3 files.  The basic player is free, RealPlayer Plus is not free.

Get the Free RealPlayer 7

They keep changing their site (of course), and some pages don't have a link to download the free version.  They REEEEALLY want you to buy RealPlayer Plus.

WinAmp

It plays MP3 files, it's cool, it's totally free (there's no 'pay' version).
