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.2. The .wav file is larger, but should play on any computer that has sound enabled (make sure your speakers are on!) Tweet Was this helpful to you? If so, please consider supporting our work.
