Frequently Asked Questions

What types of audio programs does Sounds True publish?

Sounds True has published audio programs since 1985, offering one of the largest catalogs of transformational audio content available. The collection includes over 1,300 titles spanning audiobooks, guided meditations, audio learning courses, chanting and mantra recordings, and music for healing and relaxation. Teachers include Peter Levine, Jack Kornfield, Pema Chödrön, and many others.

What is the difference between an audiobook and an audio learning course?

Audiobooks are narrated versions of published books — you listen to the complete text read aloud. Audio learning courses are structured educational programs with guided exercises, practices, and interactive components designed for skill-building. Both formats are available as digital downloads and many include companion materials like study guides and practice PDFs.

Can I listen to Sounds True audio on my phone?

Yes. All Sounds True audio programs can be downloaded to your computer or Android device. iOS users can sync downloads via iTunes, or stream content through the Sounds True One app. The Sounds True One membership also provides on-demand streaming access to a large library of audio content on any device.

How long are Sounds True audio programs?

Audio programs range from single-session guided meditations of 30 to 60 minutes to comprehensive audio learning courses of 6 to 12 hours or more. Each product page lists the exact duration and number of sessions. Many multi-hour programs are divided into sessions of 30 to 60 minutes for convenient daily listening.

Are Sounds True audio programs available for streaming?

Yes. Sounds True One members have streaming access to a large library of audio content through the Sounds True One app on iOS and Android. Individual audio programs purchased separately are available as digital downloads. Both streaming and download options give you flexible access across all your devices.

What makes Sounds True audio programs different from podcasts?

Sounds True audio programs are professionally produced, structured learning experiences designed for deep engagement and personal transformation. Unlike podcasts, which are typically episodic and conversational, these programs feature progressive curriculum, guided exercises, and companion materials. Many are based on bestselling books or decades of teaching expertise, offering a level of depth and structure that free podcast content cannot match.
