Ram,
This is a fantastic find for people like me, who like to listen to articles etc as much as reading them.
Stumbled and twittered.

What I should also say, is that by the end of the day my eyes are very tired of reading and the computer, and listening to something instead will make a nice change.
Regards.

OK but I still do not get it. Why convert documents to MP3 files? Can written text be converted to MP3?
