Free Audio Bible Downloads

There are several places on the WEB where mp3 bibles may be downloaded for free. I have listed some which I have checked out and they worked for me. I have only downloaded the New Testament and Psalms. Some of the sites offer the complete Bible and some only the New Testament. These Bibles can be loaded on to your i-Pod or other mp3 player. Many newer automobile CD players will play mp3 discs. This is great because the entire New Testament will fit onto one CD. Most of the books of the New Testament are organized by chapter and it is easy to move around in them much like you would move from song to song on your player.
If you have a CD burning program on your computer you can burn audio CD's which will play in any CD player, and each chapter will be like a separate song on the disc. It will take several CD's to hold the audio files in this form, while the mp3 files for the New Testament will easily fit on one disc.		 What is an mp3 file? 
It is a compressed audio format which is normally only about  10 percent as large as the file size on a normal music CD. The mp3 Audio Bible files are compressed even further because voice does not need the quality reproduction of music. They are only about 2 % as large meaning a CD will hold 50 times as much in this mp3 format as a normal audio CD would hold.

Audio Bibles are great. The mp3 files organized by book and chapter have aided my spiritual growth. I invite you to give them a try.
World English Bible

This is the home site for the WEB. This is a modern language translation which is based on the American Standard Version. The archaic language has been replaced with more modern English structure. This is an accurate translation and is very pleasant to listen to. The WEB is completely in the Public Domain. This means you can give away copies of what you download and use it any way you believe will benefit the Kingdom of God.
This site offers the World English Bible in many forms. You can find both the Old and New Testament here. It has not only mp3 files, but the WEB for e-Sword Bible program and can be downloaded as a text file for use in a word processor and it is available as pdf files. This is my choice for an Audio Bible.

 Audio Treasure

The World English Bible is my favorite and this is my favorite place to download it. Here you will find many choices of mp3 files for free download. You can download the complete King James Version with soft background music, or the King James Version New Testament with voice only.  
This site also offers over twenty free books in mp3 format for download. Among them is The Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyan. You will fine books on prayer by E. M. Bounds, and classic books by Christian greats such as D. L. Moody, R. A. Torrey, A. W. Pink.
This is a commercial site and has many mp3 CD's of Audio Bibles for a very reasonable price if you do not wish to download one.

Faith Comes By Hearing

Here you will find several versions available for download. At the present time Faith Comes By Hearing will allow you to download one version of the New Testament. If you want any others you will have to pay a modest fee. I have downloaded the New King James Version of the New Testament here and it is very good. You will have to download and install their Download Manager before you can download a Bible. The manager enables you to restart the download if it stalls or is interrupted for any reason. I believe the following versions of the Bible or New Testament are available here: Contemporary English Version, Good News Bible, King James Version, New International Version,  Kidz Bible NIVR, New King James Version, New Revised Standard Version.
On the Faith Comes By Hearing home page, click the "Free Download" button on the top right side of screen. The next page explains itself. Click the "Download" button to install the manager. After it is installed, you will get to choose your New Testament version for your free download. After the one version, any additional versions will have to be purchased.

 King James Bible In mp3 Audio

This Audio mp3 Bible is provided by Thru The Bible Radio by Dr. J. Vernon McGee. The parent site, ThruTheBible.org offers a five year Bible Study by Dr. McGee in mp3 format. You can also listen to archives of his radio broadcasts there or at a site just for dial-up users, ThruTheBible.ca . You will find many resources on these three sites from Thru The Bible.

To download go to the page where you can download the individual books in zip files of both Old and New Testaments in King James Version. Click here. http://mp3bible.ca This version of the Audio may be the same one that is on Audio Treasure, but I am not sure.

These sites explain how to download the mp3 files to your computer. After you download them you will have to un-zip (uncompress) the files. Once you do this they are ready to listen to on your computer. You might want to move the uncompressed Bible to a place in your Documents folders where you can easily access it. I put mine in the Music (My Music on Windows XP) folder. You can listen to them on the computer, load them to your mp3 player or i-Pod, or burn them to a CD or whatever suits your need.
