I love love love listening to audio CD books on my iPod - I check them out from the library. But - if you look at the files on the CD - there are a gazillion files on each CD. Ug.

Here's a website that explains how to take all the files on each CD and turn it into just one file as you import it into iTunes - wonderful!

and if you want to go crazy - here's how to get the "optimal" settings for this process:

And if you want to import a disk of audio MP3 files (it's a little different) - here's that info - it's a bit more complicated:

Enjoy!

pknord OFFLINE Posts: 418	We went to see The Secret Life of Bees on Monday, what a wonderful movie that is. I had been saving the book to read after seeing the movie. I read it last night, and it is a wonderful book, too, and the movie followed it quite closely. Pat in Rockport, TX

PDQuilt OFFLINE Posts: 514 Thank you received: 2	I also vote for audible.com. I'm into classics right now - listening to "Atlas Shrugged". I found that I have to be sewing while listening, otherwise I fall right to sleep! My other love is movie soundtracks - favorites are Cider House Rules, Out of Africa, Dave, and Angelas Ashes, Dances w/ wolves, Hundreds more

sandytn OFFLINE Posts: 446 Thank you received: 74	I put Ridley Pearson on my list of authors to check out. Sue Gafton's latest was one of the first I listened to on my MP3. I have read all her. I went through the other recommendation here and added some more to my list.

kfstitcher OFFLINE Posts: 1463 Thank you received: 78	I love Sue Grafton and how about Janet Evanovich on tape? THere is one narrator of hers that I love and another that I have to keep yelling at and telling her she is doing the character wrong. Karen
