Does anyone know if a complete audio book for 1001 Arabian nights (for any of the more complete translations) even exists?  I have found various files that are up to as much as 13 hours, but I feel like a full unabridged version should be several times as long as that.  Am I overestimating the length or does it not exist.  If someone knows that it does in fact exist, I'm willing to buy it at this point if you know where I can do so.  Then I will upload it to here.

Since many translations are well out of copyright, have you checked at Librivox?

https://librivox.org/group/436
Richard Burton's 1890 translation "The Book of A Thousand Nights and a Night".
7 volumes so far, total well over 100 hours. Goes up to the "776th night" so about 3/4 done.

1st volume of The Arabian Nights Entertainments, translated by Dr. Jonathan SCOTT (1754 - 1829).


-- NB, Do not upload Librivox  files here. They're freely available from their site already.

Thanks a lot.  I searched all over.  I'm not sure how it is that I didn't manage to find that...

By the way, I love your Avatar.
