you will never hear the recorder.  FAA regulations prohibit release of the audio from the black (bright orange) boxes. You may see some transcripts and I thought I'd seen some quotes from cockpit recordings from that flight in the past but it could have been from one of the other flights.

i've heard a bunch of the content from voice recorders on tv (mostly shows on TLC talking about air travel, plane crashes, survivor shows, etc)

maybe there is a statute or limitations type thing on it....can be released after a certain period of time?

In cases of hi-jackings, I believe that the FAA doesn't allow the CVR/FDR tapes to be released in case they need to be used as evidence in legal cases somewhere down the road.
