Swedish Voxbiblia.com releases free MP3 Bible
- open source technology used to put free audio Bible online
Swedish Voxbiblia.com today releases its freely streamed MP3 Bible in English. The Bible can without cost be listened to, read by professional actors. The only requirement is registration, which is free.
– We have previously released the Bible in Swedish with big success. We now feel ready to furnish the English speaking part of the world with the Authorized King James version in English. We use the latest open source technology to make the thousands of years old stories available to the public, said Johan Jorgensen CEO Voxbiblia.com.
Currently Voxbiblia.com offers two complete recordings of the Bible: “Bible 2000″, in Swedish, and the Authorized (King James) Version, in English. The recordings are sold as MP3 downloads, or thematic play-lists, pre-loaded on iPods, and as MP3-files on DVD or CD. You can also listen to the whole Bible for free through streaming audio. VoxBiblia charge a small amount for downloads to finance further development.

Voxbiblia.com started out as a Swedish dotcom in 2000 with an idea of a disruptive modernization of “The Word” and bringing new technology to the fantastic thousands of years old stories that have shaped large parts of society as we know it today. In Sweden, few people read the Bible, but the
idea was to make it easier for modern people to access one of the most important pieces of litterature, to further expand their understanding of our world and to be able to make up their own opinion. Voxbiblia.com is independent from any church or confession and has as its sole purpose making
the Bible available through spoken word.
The development has been carried out exclusively in Java and Spring Framework. Some components have been developed inhouse and these components will be released as open code in the near future.
