The simple truth is that not everyone can walk into a music supply store and pick up a high quality digital audio recorder in person after testing one out for a while. While MP3 files uploaded to internet sites are far from ideal, they at least give you a rough idea of how well a recorder performs. For example, if you listen to the publicly available audio samples recorded using a Zoom H2 and compare them with the audio from a Sony PCM-D50, you'll notice a huge difference in audio quality and preamp-related hiss.

Actually, I’m wondering why anybody *does* post sound samples on the web.
It’s like watching lord of the rings for the first time via streaming realplayer. Sure the original is amazing, but you’re trying to convey it through a vastly inferior medium – in this case someone’s cheap computer speakers.
