The Sonic Memorial Project features allow you to "stream" MP3 files, or listen to the file without copying it onto your computer. If you can't hear any sound you should go though the following check list.
Do you have a soundcard and speakers
installed? (If you have a PC, you can check if you have a soundcard by
going to My Computer/Control Panel/Sounds and Mulitmedia/Audio. Macs come
with a soundcard)
Is your volume turned up?
Listening to MP3s is easy. If your streaming audio is not working, the
fastest way to solve this is to download a new mp3 player,
a software application that lets you hear sound on your computer and install
it. On the Mac, iTunes works well. On the PC, WinAmp is recommended. Look
for your operating system below and choose a player to get started!

plays)

After installing the player, launch it on its own. As part of the process of running it for the first time, the software will ask you if you want to use it as the default application for listening to internet audio. Saying yes to this option will usually cause all the right settings to be made.
If you still have trouble, here are some links that will help you configure your system:
If you're using Internet Explorer on Windows, go here.
If you're using Internet Explorer on Macintosh, go here.
