Why should I subscribe to this service?\u00a0 There are sites on the Internet that offer free listening to Joel\u2019s classes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The Joel Goldsmith Streaming Service is the only place online where you have access to the entire<\/em> library of the more than 1250 of Joel Goldsmith\u2019s recorded classes.  As a subscriber, you have the assurance that you are listening to authentic recordings, produced from the original reel-to-reel tapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These recordings have been carefully maintained and preserved for nearly seventy years by the same Infinite Way Office that Joel himself established in 1951.  He founded the Office in order to give students a single trustworthy source for authentic Infinite Way material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joel Goldsmith\u2019s recorded classes remain under copyright protection, which means that they cannot be posted online or broadcast without permission and\/or a license from the Estate of Joel S. Goldsmith. Recordings that have been posted online without permission or a license may have been altered in some way, or are second or third generation copies of copies, or are not properly referenced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Streaming Service offers valuable additional features that are not available elsewhere.  You enjoy ad-free streaming without distractions in a serene venue for study.  You can search the entire library of titles by key word.  You can choose to select recordings in four ways: 1) by number or title, 2) by class, 3) by book, or 4) by topic.  You can use the built-in notepad to take notes while you listen, save them to your private, secure account, and print or download them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For each recording, you can see associated classes and books. There are convenient links for purchasing related transcripts, books, CDs, or MP3s.  You enjoy the best quality audio presently available for authentic recordings.  Further, your usage data is never collected and used to generate advertising revenue or to deliver personalized marketing messages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your subscription fees directly support the Office that Joel himself set up over seventy years ago, and which continues to preserve and maintain the original recordings and make copies available to Infinite Way students who want to work with authentic material. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
