But...there are lots of sound samples on the web! Elrond made a recording of Fox and Grape Bunch (which I don't remember the address of), and I made my own recording which I've put at: http://home.nvg.org/~arj/lojban/lorxu.mp3 Robert Rapplean has a word recording project at http://www.users.qwest.net/~rrapplean/loj400.html, but it seems to be sleeping.
