Hi all!
I'm looking for recommendations for dhamma talks that I can burn to CD for a daily commute. I'm thinking it will be a good way to listen to the same talk several times throughout the week, but was wondering if anybody had any specific recommendations that may have been found helpful. I'm specifically interested in reexamining the four noble truths/eightfold path right now, but would love to add any recommendations received to the list.
Metta, all.

http://www.dhammatalks.org/Ajahn Brahm's talks are available on Youtube as well under his channel:

Gain and loss, status and disgrace,
censure and praise, pleasure and pain:
these conditions among human beings are inconstant,
impermanent, subject to change.
Knowing this, the wise person, mindful,
ponders these changing conditions.
Desirable things don’t charm the mind,
undesirable ones bring no resistance.
His welcoming and rebelling are scattered,
gone to their end,
do not exist.

Stuff I write about things.

A large amount of very good stuff can be found here:

What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us
-- Dharmakirti
This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.

Níl sa saol seo ach ceo
There is naught in this life but mist
Is ní bheimid beo ach seal beag gearr.
And we will not be alive but a short hard time.

"I don't envision a single thing that, when developed & cultivated, leads to such great benefit as the mind. The mind, when developed & cultivated, leads to great benefit."

The non-doing of any evil,
The performance of what's skillful,
The cleansing of one's own mind:
This is the Buddhas' teaching.

These are great, great lists - I've burned some really helpful CDs and it's helped quite a bit.
