These are the audio files of a brilliant (former) YouTuber called PhilsStuffofDoom. They consist of his reading of all three books as well as the Appendices. And not just that. They also include the soundtracks and sound effects from, and | artwork based on, the Jackson movies. Phil's work was initially uploaded to YouTube in video form between 2010 and 2013. However, disaster sadly struck his channel that year when he was (utterly falsely!) accused of copyright infringement and, like so many other content creators, ultimately forced to delete his work and leave the site. Fortunately, about 95% of his output was saved in this link and can still be freely accessed by anyone.

And here is a list of clips from each chapter in case you are a bit weary of jumping straight into several weeks worth of material. These sample videos will also give you an idea of what the official videos were like, as the images are used as background and are altered through visual effects as the scenario changes.

Now, as I said, while these links cover most of the content that Phil put out, there is sadly a large chunk that has gone lost. These included mostly outtakes, introductions, personal commentary from Phil, and (to my great dismay) his brilliant recording of the short story | The Journey of the Black Riders. These files also do not include any of the re-recordings he did for Fellowship's first few chapters, which were (in both mine and Phil's opinion) much better than the innitial ones.
