Listen to Frank Ochberg read “Memory Shouldn’t Be…”Note: after clicking on the link, you will need to wait for a few minutes while part of the poem is “buffered” (sent) to your machine. Another option is to ‘right click’ on link, and save it to your computer…this may take a little longerRegarding different audio formats (.mp3 vs. .wav):1. MP3 is a new format that is much smaller than the .wav format. It will download much quicker, but you need to have an MP3 player. If you are interested in obtaining one, I recommend downloading the free player at: www.musicmatch.com. Another option is www.winamp.com. The .wav file is larger, but should play on any computer that has sound enabled (make sure your speakers are on!)
