AKP's airchecks

Most files are in FLAC format (.flac), a lossless audio file format.
Although FLAC files can be used by very few mp3 players and CD burners, there is plenty of software out there which can convert from FLAC to mp3.

Feel free to use these airchecks as you wish, for any not-for-profit purpose.
If you use them on your websites, please download the file and host it on your own webspace. Do not directly link to files here (it's called "bandwidth leeching").
Be aware that copyright may exist on any music played, etc.
