What can I do with MP3 files?
With MP3 files you can:
- Turn your iPod or MP3 player in the ultimate back up track machine!
I have my iPod loaded with audio back up tracks. I used them all the time when teaching piano or just practicing. I also have put most of my back up tracks in my USB Sticks (flash drives). I use them whenever I go to musicians home studios and I just plug in my USB flash stick in their computer and we are ready to jam.
- Use the MP3 files as back up tracks to play along with each example of the book.
I like to use MP3 files as back up tracks because of the "Finish Mix" audio quality of each mp3.
MIDI files will give more flexibility but MP3 files give me studio like audio quality which is very inspiring when practicing or just jamming along.

- Use the MP3 files of bass and percussion tracks for practicing or play along.
I have included MP3 files of bass and percussion tracks in different tempos for practicing or play along.
