I can verify this. The files on the site do show up as text files; and I
who went through the trouble of downloading and installing the required
mpeg-3 reader. (This, I would guess, is due to the fact that their server
actually is not configured to handle this new format)
Personally I tend to agree with Dan, it would be a lot easier if more could
settle on some kind of reigning standard, which in this case is either AU,
WAV or RealAudio formats. The latter being more cross-plattform and giving
a lot smaller files. It can also easily be configured as streaming, for
thos wishing so.

Otherwise this DX ID service is a great idea, but its possibilities is
lessened by their technical choices. We are quite a lot who do not wish to
use all and every plugin the Internet seems to demand.
