You can use any software you like to play the tracks. If you don’t know any here are a few that are free…
itunes – Mac OS X
Winamp – Windows
Windows Media Player – Windows
MP3 – Our MP3s use LAME encoding 160 kbps variable bitrate (VBR). We choose this as it is transparent to CD quality while retaining a small file size that fits easily on a modest MP3 player.
DRM – Digital Rights Management is a way online retailers (particularly the biggest one) protect their downloaded music from being copied or the files illegally re-distributed. We do NOT use any DRM of any sort on our downloads as it can sometimes cause problems with playing the music on different computers or portable devices. But just because the downloads are not ‘protected’ does not mean that they should be uploaded to music sharing sites, or otherwise given away. All the profits received by Tharpa Publications from the sale of Meditation for Relaxation are donated to the International Temples Project – an international Buddhist charity dedicated to building Temples for World Peace in every major city of the world.

The downloads cart for this site has to use a different shopping cart to the CD, as a result you can not purchase both at the same time but you can come back! The two carts are styled differently to help you tell the difference.
