It may not be what you intended but this comes off as a bit disrespectful to 
the volunteers that make these kinds of events happen.  

I think having people parrot back from an mp3 player would seriuosly degrade 
the quality of the presentations.  I also think that adding a lot of post 
production work to the process is problematic.
