Orders & Quotes

Why don’t my files sound like the samples on your site?
Certain audio formats are low-bandwidth, which is required for all telephone systems. We agree that this format can sound less than great when played through normal speakers but is perfectly acceptable when played over a telephone line.

This is explained here:

Yes, but only if you have obtained a license for use.
