    Audio playback via underlined track titles is achieved using java script "BatmoAudioPop" function and an embedded Flash player.

    Music clips (mp3 files) for this page represent just a small portion of each full piece, created in stereo from wave files using a program called Cakewalk.

    Some mp3 music clips were approximately 1/3 the size of a "standard" mp3, which uses 44100 sampling rate. Their quality is acceptable (at least to Russ' ears) and cuts down on overall server space consumption, as well as reducing loading time.
