I listened to the first two of them (I'm on Mac) and found -heard-
nothing that could be defined as "glitches", what I did notice is that
in some passages the stressing in the pronunciation of words with "s" by
the sopranos leaves some sort of almost imperceptible "trailing" behind
- like a very subtle phone patch-
I hope this can be of some help.

Could someone check these MP3s:

to tell me if there are problems with them? I know there's a little
distortion on them (they are only 192KB MP3s), but it's not
obtrusive. I'm only concerned to make sure there are no glitches in
the playback.
I can't tell for certain myself because my PC seems to have a problem
that waveform playing gets mucked up after a period of time using it,
and inserts glitches that aren't actually in the source files. When I
rewind, the glitches are not there, so I assume the MP3s are actually
clean (the same thing happens with the source WAV files, too). I just
need to know that my assumption that there actually aren't any
glitches in the MP3s is correct, since I can't seem to reliably play
them without hearing glitches inserted by my PCs problematic sound
subsystem.
I have not yet figured out why my PC is doing this. It sometimes
comes and goes (I'm listening right now with iTunes, and there's no
problem, but with the QuickTime player from the website, the glitches
are there, or if I load them from Windows Explorer, in which case
they play in Windows Media Player), though occasionally I have to
reboot to clean it up. It used to be a problem only with certain WAV
players (like the one in Exact Audio Copy), but now seems to have
migrated to all waveform players (except, I guess, iTunes). The
change seems to have happened around the same time that the wavetable
synthesizer on my sound card stopped responding to the Windows volume
controls, and that happened after my ill-fated experiment downloading
WAV-to-MP3 converters a few weeks ago (I agonized over it publicly
here on this list).
Right now, I'm just concerned that those MP3s are OK.
Thanks for listening!
