Hello,
I thought it might be useful to post some links and resources where one can listen to audio recordings of the suttas. Sometimes I prefer to listen than to read.
Sutta Readings: A good collection of suttas, with readings by well-known monks, nuns and lay-teachers. http://www.suttareadings.net/audio/index.html
Audio Tipitaka: A site where you can not only listen to suttas but add your own recordings, and volunteer help with such tasks as 'Proof-Listening'. https://sites.google.com/a/audtip.org/a ... itaka/home
Dhammapada by Gil Fronsdal: Gil Fronsdal reading his own translation of the Dhammapada. http://www.insightmeditationcenter.org/ ... l-fronsdal
Dhammapada by Thanissaro Bhikkhu: A reading of Ven. Thanissaro's translation of the Dhammapada. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... VdtdFo2ZWc
Any more?
If anyone's interested in recording some suttas themselves - Ven. Thanissaro's translations are on a Creative Commons license, which allows them to be freely redistributed in any format. They are also available, as a gift of Dhamma, i.e. free! You can download them onto your kindle/phone/computer online or order them in print form by posting off a form which can be found at http://www.dhammatalks.org.

Audio Suttas
“I in the present who am a worthy one, rightly self-awakened, am a
teacher of action, a teacher of activity, a teacher of persistence. But the
worthless man Makkhali contradicts even me, (saying,) ‘There is no
action. There is no activity. There is no persistence.’ "
AN 3.138, trans. Ven. Thanissaro

Re: Audio Suttas
This is great, thanks!!
They .. will not listen when discourses that are words of the Tathagata ..are being recited. They will not lend ear, will not set their hearts on knowing them, will not regard these teachings as worth grasping or mastering. But they will listen when discourses that are literary works — the works of poets, elegant in sound, elegant in rhetoric, the work of outsiders, words of disciples — are recited. ..Thus from corrupt Dhamma comes corrupt discipline; from corrupt discipline, corrupt Dhamma.
This, monks, is the fourth future danger .. work to get rid of it.
