1. I tried some lectures by academics on [Audible.com](http://Audible.com) but the quality of the recordings were so bad I don’t want to try that gain. Also, the selection was limited.

Anyway, are there other places to get online lectures? Prefer free ones, and fees are ok, but nothing in the range of those expensive tapes and cd-roms that those people sell through NYTimes, etc. (I forget the name of the company.)

1. Although people don’t usually give away what they can sell, I’d think somepeople would still set up an “online free univserity” of audible lectures. Has it been done?

[Hmm, even if nobody has done this, who wants to try?] 🙂
