Earlier this year I posted on the ability to download the ESV bible in audio format. This functionality still exists and is still allowed to be used but I have found out that due to copyright reasons there is a limit on the number of verses you can have at any time.

You should download no more than 250 verses, and also shouldn’t have more than an entire book (should it be less than 250 verses). You can read the full copyright notice at their website.

I apologise for this oversight and error on my part, as I strive to ensure all resources that I include are completely legal.
