Audible

Anyone tried Audible - the spoken word thingy - and what format does a book come in...sorry for the bad grammar there!...smile!...and I like my clammers too!

Gness, two readers to read one book?...how lapse, there are readers who can do multiple voices. Dave, just finished TTS Spy read by M Jayston, now waiting for delivery of Smiley's People also read by M Jayston... but I think Derek Jacobi does a superb job of Sherlock Holmes!...but I'll give Fry a listen!

You can burn them to a cd.

I would suggest having the account set on 2 computers - that way if for any reason the cd burning fails on one computer you can get round the burning restriction by using the other computer.

Tuvok, you can burn what exactly to a CD, the MP3s from Audible?...don't forget, if you didn't know, I'm the world famous techno-duffer! - But there again Dave, Michael Jayston doesn't really have a wide vocal range, does he, it's him mostly, just like Martin Jarvis, it's always Martin Jarvis, a mumble and a slight raise in pitch doesn't make characterisation! - I'd better stop or I'll become a bore - just one thing though, the Jason Bourne trilogy (Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum) by Robert Ludlum read by William Dufris is/are a truly marvellous masterclass of a voice actor's craft, a masterpiece!

You can burn the audio files to a cd so you can listen to your books using any cd player.

Audible gives you a free 30 day trial so it is worth investigating

In the print/typesetting trade, we called exclamation marks 'screamers'.

As in screamers!!!!!!!

Very appropriate.

NO - you can't just "burn audible files to a CD" - not any more.

They are now encrypted into a proprietary format - the only way to copy them is using a third-party application (of dubious legality).

Thanks for that Dave, I nearly stepped onto what looked like a smooth surface - well, I didn't really, being so thick, but you know what I mean! and two more for Alan!!
