Doing a web search for pali pronunciation sound file, I found a few files of interest.

http://aimwell.org/assets/Pali.zip contains hundreds of pali words spoken by Bhikkhu Mettavihārī , a pali scholar, it's about 4Mb long. What a fantastic resource!

On our pali files section, I see what appears to be a 2Mb version of the same zip posted by grasje. Is it just a lower resolution of the the above archive?

What do the pali experts here think of Ven. Mettavihārī's pronunciation? If there's a better audio resource, please share. Otherwise, for now I'm using it as my main reference for pronouncing pali correctly.

Is there an existing recitation of Dhammapada without music with clear and proper pali pronunciation? I didn't see a link in the msg quoted below.
