Favorite audio Bible?

I've recently been using BibleGateway's audio player to listen to decent chunks of Scripture, particularly the psalms.

My favorite reader is Max McLean, who has a distinguished classical (nearly British-sounding) voice. Of his readings, the ESV is my favorite, because it's easier to keep up with than the KJV, more poetic than the NIV, and has a soft musical background.

Does anyone know a good one that's not dramatized and without music preferably in the NASB? My folks used to have a dramatized ESV one, but the voices and music were so overdramatic and off-putting to me that I couldn't stand listening to it.

I've looked up verses on Bible Gateway but never used their audio player. That sounds like a handy feature!

I have CDs with Michael W. Smith reading the Gospels that I really like. He has a nice voice for it. I don't usually listen to the Bible but I do like audio stuff, so this thread is making me think I should do it more often! I think it was a year or so ago that there were some audio Bible passages on the AIO club - it was Katie Leigh, Townsend Coleman, and maybe someone else (probably Whit?) reading chapters. I really liked that.

I mostly just read it, filling in the voices through my imagination, so I don't really have a favorite audio Bible.
