2) Thou mayst put this FAQ up on thine website, so long as it remains
   completely intact. And I do mean completely. But I'd rather you didn't,

::: Audio Info ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

  So, you want to listen to the music and voices from the game, huh? Here's
what to do if you're running a Windows machine. Go to www.zophar.net, go
to the PSX Utilities section, and download XAPlay. Once you've got it
running, place your CSOTN CD in your CD-ROM drive, and open the file
Xa_Str1 in the SD directory.
  The sound data is divided in to 8 channels, which can be selected from
XAPlay's "Channel" pull-down menu. Each channel is 17 minutes 30 seconds
long. Actually, for some reason XAPlay cuts it off at 17.30, but the
actual channels are probably longer. XAPlay noticably cuts off "I am the
Wind", and this might explain why "Master Librarian" is missing in action.
  Anyway, here's the index for the NA version of CSOTN. I'd imagine that
the other versions would mostly be the same, except the Japanese versions
probably don't have the English voices, for obvious reasons.
