If you have one of the three sound plug-ins installed (Quicktime, MP3 or RealAudio) you should be able to hear the following example. The sound is compressed so it's not perfect. Moreover it was originally a 78 RPM disc. But the music is great!

Listen to the music: quicktime (373 k)

Listen to the music: MP3 (135 k)

Listen to the music: RealAudio (89 k)

These 17 seconds from a recording by Kesarbai Kerkar are much more than enough to know that we are listening to the raga Todi, as the label of the disc (EALP1278) says. Now lets see if the determination table gives the same result. Just keep clicking on the appropirate answers till you either get the right or the wrong final verdict.
