listen on-line to wyrd-folk music

You can play (but cannot download) a selection of wyrd-folk tracks in real-time through Windows MediaPlayer shown below. Each track is compressed so that it will play on-line at reduced quality from the original source which will also stop pirating of the tracks.

For non Windows users - unfortunately the files below won't play on your operating system and I apologise for this. I am trying to establish an easy way of streaming open source files. Vorbis Ogg have proved too big per file (over 4MB at the lowest setting) and Real media keep changing their format baseline causing a lot of problems for users. We are looking into embedding a file into Flash but this isn't an option for easy, quick streaming. This is an amateur site done in spare time so while I will sort it, it may take a little time. Thoughts are as always most welcome!
