This was recently recommended to me, and it's very nice. And it's free!

Are you talking relaxation-type meditation or Buddhist meditation? Or something I haven't thought of? If it's the Buddhist flavor, zencast.org frequently features meditations in addition to its lecture podcasts.

Just to clarify, Buddhist meditation does tend to make one more relaxed, but that's not the primary goal.

These audio recordings by Jack Kornfield are excellent. Perhaps a local library has meditation tapes?

I love Meditation Oasis, also a podcast.

These aren't exactly guided meditations, but the meditations described in these talks have been hugely beneficial for me. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Ministry's _A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste_ works for me, but I doubt it's for everyone.

Looks like jbickers suggested what I told her/him in that thread. To add to the answer, the cd is available on itunes as nine lives of a healer. The website also has links to another Cd (but not on itunes).

Ministry is hardly a guided meditation. Jon Kabat-Zinn's recordings are pretty ubiquitous.

lucyleaf: I just downloaded Meditation Oasis and couldn't bear to hear it. That womans voice is so annoying!

I really like the guided meditations on Meditation Station, also available on iTunes.

I recently asked a similar question which you might find helpful.
