Varies. Most of the stuff refered to on this list is 28.8 Real Audio
and sounds like AM radio. It's just enough to get people interested
in the music. It probably increases sales. I've bought stuff after
hearing the real audio.
MPEG Layer 3 (MP3) audio sounds about as good as a cassette dub of a CD
and could well be regarded as a threat to sales if the internet was
a free resource. But it isn't free. Downloading a 50 Meg MP3 instead
of buying the CD/Vinyl is bad economics.

Last thing we want. On this list the few MP3s that have been put up
are of rare deleted titles. If the labels had any sense they'd respond
by re-releasing the material. We're just busting to get the music
and we do whatever it takes.
