Baha'i
Audio Books
You may listen to the audio books on your computer,
download them onto an mp3 player or record them onto a tape
(45 minute per side) by plugging your cassette recorder
into the headphones jack on your speakers. Unfortunately,
we have not devised an order to the list. Thanks to the
US's and UK's Baha'i Service for the Blind for allowing
us to use these tapes! The recordings are in the process of being re-digitized at a
higher quality level. The file sizes are larger but the quality is significantly better. So, even
you have heard them before, you might want to listen again.
