Thought people might be interested in some info I saw elsewhere.

At the HNH website, you can now listen to NAXOS and Marco Polo discs for
free, the entire CD in each case where they're doing this.  They appear
to be in the process of uploading every disc in their catalogues, using
the Windows Media file format.

The sound won't, of course, be as good but it'll give us a good idea
what to expect on the disc, before buying.  The person who posted the
information said that Klaus Heymann wrote him back to "say that he thought
of it as restoring the listener's 'right' to hear a recording before he
bought it."

(Another reason to support Naxos.  Smart man.  More exposure for the
artists too.)
