Was looking for something like this for a friend who has a reading disability; found it and thought I'd share the find.

Wow - you RULE. I was just embarking on trying to find something like this so I could listen to the Bible while I walk to work.

Thanks again.

That is really useful. It is great how people are making the bible available on all these new formats. I use a site on my wap phone that lets me read any scripture. Thankyou for the link. While we are on the subject of mp3, does anyone know where I could download sermons or Christian tutorials?

good to see people enjoying it..
i don't read web bible much, though i love its philosophy - of a modern english translation without copyright issues..
As for the audiotreasure mp3's i have written permission to use them in software applications if anybody is interested in making some software using them...

silicon_chippy,

some good places

http://www.lightsource.com
http://www.oneplace.com

of course some of them charge todownload as mp3 (though can stream for free) - you can often find them free if you search for the homesite of the particular ministry also.

what do you mean by christian tutorials?

Thankyou klumsy. I have checked out one link and it seems to be just what I am looking for. I will check out the other link when I have a little more time to browse. By instructional I meant more evangelical, practical and real life speeches.

Hey K!

Does that apply to any developer or just your team? Let me know, I'll contact them if not.

I think I have a spot in my game where I can use quite a few of days. Good thing CDs hold a lot of data!! :-)

what exactly will you be using how?

it doesn't hurt to get him to give you permission yourself..
what do you mean by "a few of days"?

Hey,
Great on the permission. I've Emailed in addition just to make sure. Can we use just a verse or two?

Sorry, typo on "days", it was supposed to be "can use quite a few of them."

I have some scriptures being read aloud in my game, right now it just presents the text. For computers capable of doing sound, I could have it read (play the mp3 snippet) as well. Fun fun.

Has anyone listened to the Psalms read in Arabic at the audiotreasure site? Very interesting!

Anybody know where I could get something similiar to what AudioTreasure offers except in another translation besides KJV like the NIV?

you are not going to get NIV audio for free because of copyright laws
however you can get it, and other audio (new living etc)
at
bible.gospelcom.net
and
www.crosswalk.com

its streaming audio over the net... however you can record your audio stream very easily if you need to use it offline..

Good/Bad news. This is the response I got
<I>
I license the World English Bible, Spanish New Testament and KJV mp3 Bible
files for commerical use and reproduction for a one time fee of $500.


For non-commerical and ministry use there is no charge.
</I>

Good news if non-commercial. Bad news because I may want to sell my game one of these days. Or at least open it up for donations. I'll follow up with him.
