Abstract: The present invention is a method for transmitting full frequency digital audio signals over a network in real time and for providing access to a remote sound server. The present invention is preferably practiced using ISDN and is useful for remote casting auditions and for other communications. The present invention allows two or more sites on a network to communicate simultaneously. Live high-fidelity audio may be stored locally and/or transmitted to another site. At the other site, the audio may be stored and/or reproduced in high fidelity. Sound samples may be retrieved from a sound sample server and transmitted in high fidelity in real time over the network.
