Hello guys!
there's a way to dowload all the audio words that you need in one time with a script or similar from the site?
I need all the jlpt audio words for using with anki but one by one is impossible even with an automatic grabber
the files of site are awesome because their quality is perfect and takes only some kbytes

Waaa, how long have they had audio up there??

Edit:  "Audio Clips for all EDICT Entries - April 2009

Audio examples for many of the 135,000+ EDICT entries, spoken by Japanese native speakers. These are linked to each entry when displayed on the screen."

(I see Tobbs answered my question already.)

A few months. Jim Breen worked together with JapanesePod101.com to do it.

I used this shell script:

Code:

php=http://assets.languagepod101.com/dictionary/japanese/audiomp3.php
IFS=$'\n'
for l in $(sed -En 's|^(.+) \[(.+)\] .*|\1 \2|p' edict.txt); do
  curl -s "$php?kana=${l#* }&kanji=${l% *}" > "pod/$l.mp3"
done
for l in $(sed -En 's|^([^[]+) /.*|\1|p' edict.txt); do
  curl -s "$php?kana=$l" > "pod/$l.mp3"
done
for f in pod/*; do
  [[ $(stat -f %z "$f") =~ (52288|53303) ]] && rm "$f"
done

It took about two days, and it downloaded audio files for 127677 words (or readings of words).

Edit: I uploaded the files to http://jptxt.net/edict-japanesepod-audio.tar (1.8 GB).

It took about two days, and it downloaded audio files for about 128000 out of the 202000 words currently in EDICT.

You can also download the files from this thread:
http://forum.koohii.com/viewtopic.php?p … 12#p126412

Should take significantly less time then the 2 days mentioned above.
