This is a "toolbox" that contains programs for the most popular operating systems, that are suggested for use with this site. I have tested out all the Windows 95 programs. Since I don't have a Mac, I have relied on Mac users to suggest programs that are worth downloading. If you use Windows 3.1, Unix, or another operating system, you'll have to find your own utilities. If you use Web TV, you will not get the full benefit of this site ... sorry.

All of the sound files on this site are MP3-Compressed WAVs (excluding links to files on other sites). I have their files names ending with _mp3.wav, so you'll know which ones are MP3-Compressed. For more information & programs to use with these wavs, please see the Wav Help page.
