IMPORTANT NOTE: After one week, your trial subscription will automatically convert to a one month subscription at $15.95. If you really enjoy Echoes On-line, you'll want to convert to a quarterly plan at $38.97, a savings of $8.88 compared to the monthly charge. If Echoes On-Line doesn't seem right for you, just cancel your subscription at the end of the trial and you won't be charged any more than the initial $2.99. We don't want you paying for something you don't enjoy so we will also send you an email reminder to convert your account or cancel it. Be sure you read it.

The Echoes online audio service uses the RealAudio format. This requires that you use the (free) RealPlayer application. If your computer doesn not already have this program installed, you will need to download it from Real.com. Please note that there are free players you can download there, for both Windows and Mac operating systems. You can choose to purchase a more elaborate player, but the free versions are perfectly capable of playing our content.

Echoes Online also requires a moderately fast and consistent connection to the internet. Some dial-up connections may be sufficient, but broadband, such as cable, DSL, fiberoptic, etc is highly recommended. Some businesses block audio streaming on their internal networks, and some personal firewall settings can interfere with streaming audio, so after verifying that you have RealPlayer installed and configured, be sure to try playing one of the free sample files in the upper right-hand corner of this page, to make sure that the software is working, and your internet connection is up to the task.

RealAudio files are not currently playable on most smartphones or tablets, so the service can only be accessed with a desktop or laptop computer. We are looking into supporting smartphones and other portable devices, and hope to offer that soon, but streaming to smartphones and tablets is not currently available.

For other questions about the service, please check our Technical FAQ, and our General FAQ.

Listen to a Sample:

Feature:
Mike Oldfield's Virtual Music
(Full Bandwidth)

This feature is coded the same as all the Echoes On-Line Programs, so it represents the sound quality you will get on your connection. All shows will have the same sound quality as this sample.

A half-hour of Echoes:
program 42-T
(Low bandwidth)

This sample is coded at a lower rate than our on-line archive of shows, so it has a lower sound-quality than the programs you will hear as a subscriber. If you are unfamiliar with Echoes, this sample will give a sense of what a typical Echoes program sounds like. If you'd like to check the sound quality that you will get on your particular internet connection, play the interview feature above. That sample is coded as a variable-bandwidth Real Audio "Surestream" file that will give you the best quality that your connection can provide and represents the actual sound quality you can expect when you subscribe to Echoes On-Line.
