Greek Audio New Testament

Does anybody here own this?  If so, does it work well?  Had any problems with it in Logos?  Is it useful?  How do you use it?  Do you like it?  Etc?

I've owned the product for a while. It works very well for my purposes as far as they go. As the narrator reads, a little green ball bounces on each word as it is pronounced to let you know where you are up to in the text. I've found it useful in three ways:

1 In an exegesis class I took we were required to begin our assigned exegetical summaries with a reading from the Gk text of the passage we had to study.  I used to practice beforehand using this product so I would avoid sounding like a fool when it was my turn to read.

2. After I've studied a text and I'm familiar with the vocab, grammar and the semantic flow of the passage, I'll listen to the GANT reading. I find that forcing myself  to follow the passage aurally facilitates a "big picture" understanding of the passage in its original language. Sometimes it's also good for picking up on rhetorical devices like alliteration and repetition I might not notice otherwise.

3. Maybe I shouldn't admit to this one, but sometimes I'll make an mp3 recording of a particularly precious chapter or passage read by GANT and listen to it in repeat mode devotionally or for meditation on long walks or when I am out jogging (and then of course delete it when I've finished).
