Reply To: Is it mutar to listen to a shiur from your Rabbi on shabbos?

“The Rama says that doing something that normally entails a Melacha (in this case, electricity) that is Mashmia Kol is Assur on Shabbos”

But you are not “doing” anything. It is being done prior to shabbos. And secondly that is when the sound sounds like a melacha sound, but in this case when the audio quality is so good what if it sounds like a person just talking or laining in the room.
