Top 10 Buddhist MP3's: Chants, Dhamma talks, and guided meditation

Buddhist 'Dhamma talks' and other resources in MP3 format are fast becoming the best way to get your Dhamma fix in the modern age, due to the relative rarity of Buddhist and meditation centers, though these organizations are becoming more common every year. 

Here are some of my favorite resources:

• Access to Insight Theravadan Suttas, commentaries, and essays on the Dhamma.
• Buddhist Publishing Talks from Thai Forest tradition masters, such as Ajahn Sumedho. Despite the recent controversy on bhikkhuni ordination, Ajahn Sumedho's talks and books remain in my favorites.
• Bhavana Society of WV Dhamma talks Renowned monks Bhante Gunaratana and Bhante Rahula opened a lovely monastery in West Virginia, Bhavana Society. Bhante Rahula in particular gives talks that resonate with the American psyche, being American himself.
  
• BBAC Dhamma Talks (English and Chinese) A wonderful informally-run retreat center and Dhamma study group records their meditation retreats and talks.
• Buddhist Society of Western Australia Ajahn Brahmavamso, now world famous for his expulsion from the Thai Forest Sangha for ordaining women in Australia, puts his talks up on MP3 here.
• Buddhist Geeks Podcast Interviews from Buddhist figureheads from Vince Horn, whom you can also follow on Twitter and Facebook.
• Thich Nhat Hanh talks Thich Nhat Hanh on video and MP3
• Buddhanet TalksVarious Dhamma talks, chanting, etc.
• Zen Chants on Zendust.org
  
• Free Buddhist MP3's A huge variety of MP3 resources for Buddhists
