Coming from this issue, we may discuss possible options here. @karl_lew
I am describing how to do this with the new SC-Voice app; the old one will probably die soon, but at the moment is also still working.
Currently it is possible to listen to suttas in order by doing the following:
- Open SC-Voice.net
- In case you do this for the first time, you will see some small green tutorial cards that point out some essential functions; you may follow these in order to get familiar with main functionalities, or dismiss them and read more detailed user instructions in the wiki of the app later on
- Open a search card by clicking the icon in the top right corner
- Type for example
sn1.1
, press âenterâ - Click on the result SN 1.1 â this opens a sutta card
- Play the sutta by using the left play button (plays current segment and pauses) or the right play button (plays from current segment to end of sutta)
- When youâve finished the sutta, click on the
sn1.2
link at the bottom on the right side â this opens a new sutta card - You may close cards that you have finished listening in order to have your screen more tidy
- There are links to the previous and next suttas both at the top and the bottom of each sutta card
Another option is to get a list of suttas to play on a search card:
- Open a search card by clicking the icon in the top right corner
- Type for example
sn1.1-5
, press âenterâ; the default max number of results is 5, if you want more you can change it in > general > search results - Click on the first sutta on your search card, then the second, etc.
- It is also possible to have playlists that donât follow the order of the canon, for example by typing
sn1.1,an3.5,mn2
on a search card
Another option is to get a topic oriented playlist
- Type for example
root of suffering
on a search card â depending on your max result setting, this will show you up to 7 suttas that talk about the root of suffering
Unfortunately there is no option at the moment to listen to multiple suttas by just one single click.
The old Voice has still the option to download a playlist (of similar sorts as described above for the new Voice) which the new Voice is not (yet) able to do; this may come closer to what youâd like to do?
Please let us know if these options are helpful for you; or else why it is so important for you to listen to multiple suttas by just one single click.
