You should have at least 8 MB memory. VOA's website provides audio for only some of their transcripts. Michael Nelson's Chinese Language Maintenance Page provides language learning material adapted from VOA and from the People's Daily. The Chinese Online Reading Assistant page contains several intermediate to advanced readings from actual Chinese magazines and periodicals, with definitions of words and phrases provided, as well as audio. It's arranged alphabetically in pinyin order, so if you hear an unfamiliar word, you can look it up by its pronunciation even if you don't know the characters it's written with.
