I've recently been adding sentances from iKnow (with the intention of shadowing the audio when doing reviews).
I ripped the audio from the site with a firefox addon(DownloadHelper) and then put the audio in with the sentances in anki.
It sort of works, but Anki sometimes crashes and I usually have to press the play sound button several times to get it to work, which makes shadowing the sentance quite difficult =(
Anyone else had the same problem?

Have you recently updated Anki? A new release a few days back said the audio handling was reworked. You might try that.
I gave up on Anki's audio a long time ago, though I'm considering doing some TTS now (if the new Anki release handles audio without problems).

Ah yes, I'm downloading the update now, I didn't think that would fix it. I'll try again when it finishes.
[edit]Yay, it does work =D
Strange that an update appeared just when I needed it =D
Oh by the way, what's TTS?
[edit]Sorry should have searched, Text To Speech, right?
I was actually thinking of doing that too after reading a few topics about it on the forum. Do you have you any suggestions on what software to use? And also does the resulting speech actually sound real(or close enough)? I mean I don't want to sound like a robot...

I would not recommend TTS, at least not for shadowing. The technology is impressive, but it can come out roboty at times and it can't even parse some stuff correctly. If I were you, I would stick to proper audio from radio and TV.

There is a plugin for Anki which will import iKnow material for you. See the wiki.
