The audio readings presented here are in mp3 format and can either be streamed by left-clicking on the link, which will open a new window where the recordings will play; or they can be downloaded by right-clicking and choosing to save to the hard-disk.
At the moment only three English translations have been read in, but I hope to add to these in the coming months, and will try and include Pàëi and Sanskrit recordings also. The readings have been broken into smaller sections to allow for easy access and download.
Note that these files are not included in the website download but must be downloaded separately and placed in the Audio folder to reassemble the website. Please feel free to share these recordings with your friends.
