does the cd-rom of kanji odyssey have the sentences spoken in audio?
i have the book and i want to put sentences/words into anki, but with audio atached.
if the cd-rom have those it might be worth to buy it for that reason.
this would suffice for adding cards.

idealy what i seek would be a huge (jlpt4-jlpt1) vocabulary list with audio for each word.
i doubt i am the only one seeking this, i hope someone know some pointers to such resources?

Google for "playsay", that's exactly what they offer. The words are pronounced in isolation not in sentences though.

i bought the jlpt4 set to try it out and i think its great.
the kanji, kana and english keywords are all in the file info so copy and pasting them into anki is easy.
before i made cards by adding furigana manual above kanji in pictures, very time consuming but i wont need to do this anymore since the audio replaces that.

the only small drawback is that i would have to cut the audio files in 2 to prevent the answer from being played

anki crashes if i add the files, but when i edit it with an audio editor and save it differently it works fine, probaly some silly format issue.(apple ipod?)

I read that anki has some difficulty with mp3 format and that ogg format should work fine so I just used a conversion program (freeware: MediaCoder) to convert all the files to ogg and things seem to work fine now.  However, as you mentioned ivoSF, if one doesn't want the answer to be played, the file must be sliced.  I don't really fancy doing this to every file, but as I plan on just adding words as I come across them in context, perhaps it won't be such a tedious chore.

I asked resolve a while back and he said .mp3 support is very bad at the moment but he is planning to fix it. For the moment, it's safest to go with .ogg which should work at all times.

EDIT: Just speculation, but I think the problem is with pygame, a module used for sound in Anki.
