audios in castellano?

[Patt]

Anyone know of an online free download source for audiobooks in
castellano? Preferably stories - even children's stories - I am about
at that level and am in RECEIVE mode today. I just want to put the
headphones on and listen - not to the TV or to news.

Thanks

Patt,Audiobooks are not so popular in spanish speaking world. It is pretty difficult to find anything on the net. Check out these sites:
http://librivox.org/
http://www.leerescuchando.com
http://hansi.libroz.com.ar
http://www.alu.us.es/j/javescinf/Librivox is a project for volunteers to read books and it has several books in Spanish. There are some online libaries for blind people with audiobooks in spanish, but books are read by synthetic computer voice and it sounds terrible.

Thanks IgorI will check these out. Perhaps I should look to trade English recordings for someone that can do them for me in Castellano (not Spanish - I want the accent). I am, amongst other things, a voice-over and it is easy to do now them on your computer instead of the studio with Audacity. (If they don't mind the traffic noise of Corrientes in the background).

The only argentine audiobook recording company I know of is "El Narrador" and they have only 5 books published if I am not mistaken.May be you should hire somebody to read the book in Spanish and sell it as an audio book? There definitely will be some licensing and copyright issues though.
Don't take my business advises seriously.
