Whadayathink of this piano sound?

[Kent Swafford]

The piano is close-miked dry with no sound processing other than  
adjusting the gain levels. I'd like to know what you think of the  
sound of the piano if you can tell anything, but I'm also trying to  
find out about the state of sound files and everyone's ability to  
download and play them.

There are five tracks, each a minute or a minute-and-a-half in length.  
The five tracks each appear twice, in 2 different formats.


MP3 files with a high bit rate:

Apple Lossless files, which are relatively large and require Quicktime  
and/or iTunes, but are compressed without loss, and so have the full  
fidelity of the original recordings. Among those who can download and  
listen to these files, I'm interested in whether they sound better  
than the MP3 files.
