The files need to be small enough (in file size) to be bearably fast. If you have MP3 files the easiest is to include them in a html page with a QuickTime player, the quality is acceptable although the files are still rather big. You will need tools (many available free on the net) to format the files but it's all fairly easy. Real audio is more fiddly to format and it only plays back in the ugly Real player, the size is similar to MP3/QuickTime anyway. Forget about putting long pieces, stick to selected snippets of one minute at the most most people would get frustrated by the slow response and give up or their connection would be likely to drop half-way through. For my record label's web site (http://www.rustyrobot.com ) I have used Shockwave/Flash files played in a Shockwave player, custom made. You can easily export as Shockwave sound files of all kinds (MP3, QuickTime, Aiff, Wav etc.) from an application like Sound Edit or Peak. The quality is the same as MP3 but the file size is a fraction and usually the sound streams nicely. If you need more detailed info feel free to get in touch.
