Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for posting this question today!
I have fallen in love with the Psalms, but I have been unable to track them
down in Hebrew audio.
I have spent unsuccessful hours searching for the Tanach in audio format. 

But today I Google the right combination of search terms, and I found a link
which led me to:

http://audioscripture.com/asi-web/audiopg/audio/0123-01/OT/

Enjoy!

This is to answer Ken Penner's rhetorical question as to "when can we begin
to use Unicode on B-Hebrew?"
My answer is within a few month. Those who purchase now a new electronic
edition of "JPS Hebrew-English TANAKH, electronic edition" (available
exclusively from my www.eBookShuk.com ) will get this functionality as a
free upgrade.
Using Unicode fonts there was no way to typeset such complex book as this.
Now, we are in the process of re-mapping of our Hebrew Hadassah fonts for
Unicode to allow editable copy-and-paste functionality as well as search in
B-Hebrew using free Adobe Acrobat (ME).
However, I have to say that JPS Hebrew-English TANAKH has in some ways
better functionality then Unicode--using which, by the way, one still won't
be able to properly set fully contillated text in any know to Mr. Penner
word-processor--i.e. Graphics Select Tool, using which one can copy a glyph
or a page of perfectly formatted B-Hebrew text into virtually any word
processor.
By the way, for such a wonderful bunch of people that subscribe to B-Hebrew
list, I make give 20% off Scholar PDF edition of "JPS Hebrew-English
TANAKH", if a member of the list will make a purchase by the end of this
month; to get this discount, use code "JPS".
