Is there a way to listen to a sound file before (or after) downloading?

There may be specialized software available to MTH techs, but as far as I know, for us peons, you have to download the file into the engine in question, then run it and see what it sounds like. Not hard to do, just takes time.

Thank you Rod
Is there a way to see if the file is newer than the one you have?
Some sound files on the MTH website has a MP3 version that you may listen to on any computer player

As I understand it, encoded into the sound file name is the date of release.
Example: R091PP3GS4_25__SP_090522aUPD
The numbers at the end mean it was released on May 22, 2009.

Hi all,
Here's what I've been able to compile over the years about MTH sound file naming conventions. There are many files that break this format in one way or another. In particular, early 5 volt sounds were created before many of the naming conventions had been established.
There's one field I have yet to figure out, so I just list the variations I've observed. If anyone knows what this field defines I'd love to add that info to the diagram below.

What a nice chart! Thanks Dave, this really helps to eliminate the trial and error part of the process. Been wanting to try a Crescent ps2 file to try on a ps3 engine, but didn't know if it would be compatible....this chart helps!
Dave, what happened to your avatar?
