Question #1: Audio Transcripts - Are you interested in downloading audio sessions?

[Bring4th_Steve]

The channelings of L/L Research exist in two forms: transcript and audio. The transcripts of every single channeling session – from Hatton, Latwii, Ra, Q’uo, and other members of the Confederation – are always and will always be freely available at the L/L Research Transcript Library.

The audio from each channeling session, on the other hand, has been locked on cassettes since 1974, when L/L Research began recording its channelings. Since 2008, we have been steadily converting the audio on the cassettes into a digital audio format for the dual purposes of preservation and download as an mp3 file through our online store. Our goal is to make the audio from each channeling session (the Ra Contact included) available as an mp3 for downloading to your computer, iPod, or other mp3 player for a reasonable fee.

As L/L Research offers virtually all of its material for free on its website, it is hoped that the audio download project will generate much needed revenue for the organization. In order to move in the right direction of making the audio available to the community, L/L Research would like to hear from you! If interested, please complete the above poll to help us decide how to best go about presenting these audio sessions. And share any of your thoughts with us in this thread!

I really enjoy listening to these sessions. I few months back I downloaded about 60 sessions from the BBS site, and have slowly been working through them while I sit at work (I work with computer graphics all day so its a perfect combination).

The biggest problem is that BBS hasn't really done well with organizing the material. The file names are incorrect with regard to the dates given in the audio, and the quality is not very good.

I'll be very happy to see them properly organized and made available directly through L/L. Hopefully any revenue brought in will balance or at least offset the bandwidth costs.

I would be very interested in having the entire Ra material. That should be available in some sort of package, I think. The rest I would probably rather read. One thing you could consider is having a podcast where only so many are available at a time, adding a new one and rolling off an old one every week. This is how the Alan Watts podcast, which I subscribe to, is operated. This way, people might listen enough to find that they like the audio recordings, and then they might go ahead and download a greater quantity of them. But then you are still sharing freely, just in a more limited way.

It would be cool to get a copy of perhaps just one of the Ra sessions in audio format. I just got a copy of the books and plan to digest them that way, but am also curious to hear Carla / Ra's voice. Maybe session 1 of book 1 would be fun.
