1: Returned - Terrible!!!
Well, I had read previous posts complaining of the 'echo' effect on this 3 CD set, but paid no heed. I should have, as the echo effect was so bad that I couldn't bare listening to Scourby's incomparable reading. I once owned the tape cassette version and there was no echo effect at all, though there was some discernable print through which is characteristic of the tape medium. I can't figure out how the echo was introduced. Perhaps during the transfer from tape or, more likely, during the transfer from digital master to MP3. Has anyone listened to the 6 CD set listed on Amazon? I wonder if that's any better. The price is certainly right. Otherwise I guess I'll have to spill for the 60 CD set. I don't believe anyone other than Scourby has recorded a complete KJV. His neutral Mid-Atlantic accent is perfect.

2: Poor Sound Quality
I bought this Mp3 Bible because in my opinion Alexander Scourby does the very best Bible reading. I also own this on cassette and CD, but the reason I bought this was for the convenience of having all the tracks properly labeled for ease of use in my iPod. Unless the tracks are labeled properly they won't play correctly (in consecutive order).
The problem I have with this set however, is that the sound quality is quite inferior to the same version of this in the CD format. I have done side by side comparisons, and the CD's definitely sound much better. I don't know what they did to these recordings in the mastering process but it sounds bad. It sounds muffled. Some sections worse than others.
So for me, this was a total waste of money. I removed them from my PC and my iPod, and instead painstakingly labeled each track from my CD version. It was a lot of work, but it was definitely worth it.
I definitely CANNOT RECOMMEND this MP3 version.

3: problem tranfering to my computer
When the bible was tranfered to my computer, each book of the bible was listed three time are more. I have to deselected each book in order to tranfering it to my i pod. This process was very time consuming. I found the content and sound quality very good. Other then problem tranfering the bible, I give my purchase five stars.

4: MP3 Bible
I bought this version of the Bible for my husband as a birthday gift. He was absolutely thrilled. When he opened the package, he immediately downloaded it to his MP3 player and listens to it every day while he is walking on his lunch hour or in the car on the way to and from work. It was a great investment and the price was excellent.

5: Outstanding
I have always loved Alexander Scourby and this is by far one of the best purchases I've made for my laptop. I travel the globe and it makes my studies so much easier. I bought two copies and gave one to a dear friend. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes to have the word read to them or needs it for study. I also use it for studying my lessons and preparing sermons. Thank you for offering this!
