This Easter weekend, April 3th and 4th, 2010, we’ve been enjoying the annual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Every Conference I try to post links to MP3 audio of the sermons of the modern Apostles and Prophets of Jesus Christ as well as other Internet resources as they become available.
Also, try out the Beta of the church’s new General Conference page:

Streaming Video
Live Video, streamed over the Internet, as well as archived recordings of completed sessions is available on demand through BYU and KSL. We have been watching conference through BYU.tv for several years now and love it. The video player only works on Windows or Mac OS X (Sorry Linux Users!). This year KSL appears to be using the same player as BYU.tv, so they may be actually the same source. Also, the church is officially providing a Video Podcast for the first time this year (see the podcast section below).
The LDS Church is now offering official audio and video Podcasts of general conference! Now you can receive individual talks in your feedreader, iTunes, or podcatcher (I use Google Reader).

During recent sessions of conference I have been linking to the Podcast available through KSL.com. The KSL podcast is great because the sessions become available very quickly, usually before the subsequent session has started. However, the feed from KSL is very poorly managed. This last conference it worked fine for the Saturday sessions, but none of the Sunday sessions ever were posted. It makes me wonder if the feed is being generated by hand and someone forgot to update it.
In any case, extrapolating from the naming of the mp3 files for Saturday sessions, I was able to guess the names of the Sunday session mp3 files, which did in fact exist shortly after each session, and link to them from my blog.
The advantage of the official feeds from lds.org is that they will likely be better maintained, and that they offer individual mp3s of each talk rather than semi-sessional mp3s like the KSL feed.
I wonder if the new official feeds will update as quickly as the KSL feed? It would be great if the mp3 for each talk posted shortly after the talk completed.

UPDATE: MP3s of most sessions, as wells as MP3s of each individual discourse in the sessions are now available from the official church website.

Once again we are enjoying the General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Each conference, I try to post links to MP3 audio and other resources as quickly as they become available. Not everyone can listen to or watch the conference as it is broadcast, but internet technology has progressed to the point that anyone can participate and listen to the words of the living Prophet, Twelve Apostles, and other general authorities of the church regardless of their schedule.
MP3 Audio
The links below are to the earliest available MP3 Audio files. They are often available shortly after each session ends through the podcast. As MP3 files are made available on the official church website, the links will be changed to point there.

Video is available both live as the conference is broadcast as well as on demand for past sessions, which are available immediately. So you can literally watch them at any time. This is the way we are watching conference this year. Our first time watching this way was last April, and we experienced some technical bugs, but this fall the experience has been, so far, bug-free.
