The Arabic Shaikh al-Albaani website has produced a free DVD of the Shaikh’s Al-Hudaa wan-Noor series of tapes. The DVD includes 901 tapes. The size of the file is about 4.18GB, once you’ve downloaded it you have to burn it to a DVD for it to work.
You can actually search through the tapes by typing a particular word you may be after, which is quite handy. As an example, if you searched for, ‘النووي’ it would give you all the recordings which have the word ‘An-Nawawi’ listed in the cassette titles.
You can find the download link here. [Update Feb 2015, this link no longer seems to be working and I haven’t been able to find a replacement.]
Questioner: I have found, and I ask Allaah to forgive me and I hope that my feeling is misplaced, but I’ve started to notice that some of the students of knowledge, young people, who generally, alhamdulillaah, are good, but you will see that he has studied for four or five years, just having started [studying] the science of hadith and you find that he tries to build himself up by opposing so and so, for example, he will disagree with Al-Albaani [in hadith], or in fiqh he will even oppose Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baaz or Uthaimeen, so this is a phenomenon which I fear, O Shaikh.
Al-Albaani: We are men and they are men!
Questioner: In fact they did say that! But someone replied to them, O Shaikh, and said, ‘They [i.e., the scholars] are men, and you are a Dajjaal [imposter].’ Because one time the issue [being discussed] was about a Companion, the discussion reached the Companions, he said, ‘They are men and we are men.’ So he [the other person] replied, ‘No, they were men and you are a Dajjaal.’
Al-Albaani: Allaahu Akbar!
Questioner: So this is something noted, now for a few days I’ve been having a discussion with a student of knowledge, may Allaah reward him with good, who is attentive in this regard, so one of the brothers said to me, ‘But he opposes Al-Albaani or differs with Al-Albaani,’ so the issue … ‘… and so and so opposes Shaikh Ibn Baaz and so and so differs with Shaikh Ibn Uthaimeen.’
Al-Albaani: The love of fame will break one’s back.
Questioner: I liked this statement of yours …
Al-Albaani: This is a blight on the students in this age except for those who Allaah has protected, and how few they are.
Questioner: Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah.
Al-Albaani: Allaah’s aid is sought, Allaah’s aid is sought.
Question: A question about ruqyah [reciting aayahs/supplications on someone who is poisoned/possessed by Jinn, etc.]. Is ruqyah something bound by a religious text and not amenable to personal opinion [tawqifiyyah] or something concerning which ijtihaad is possible? Namely, if we tried a specific method free of polytheism [shirk], “ … perform ruqyah, as long as it does not involve polytheism,” based upon this text, is that permissible or not?
Al-Albani: According to the limits that you [just] defined I hold that it is permissible as long as there is nothing which opposes the Sharee’ah like if it were [to lead to falsely] imagining that there are hidden secrets, or if it is misconstrued that there is harm which cannot be seen.
I do not see any harm in that with the condition and restriction that you mentioned.
