Audio Book: 4 Reasons Why People STILL Prefer Audiobooks in Download Formats than CDs

Hi Book Lover,

Despite how great CDs are, many people prefer downloadable files, especially when it comes to listening to audio books.

Below are some of the reasons why:

One, Audio books in a CD format cannot contain more than 75 minutes of content but audio files can hold as much as 90 whole minutes (and, in many cases much more) of narration.

I agree you can have the entire audio book spread out in several CDs, but not many people like to carry around too many CDs.

So, while you might need just a few audio files for a particular audio book, you will probably need many more CDs for that same audio book.

Two, most people don't like to spend extra cash buying CD audio books when they can get the same audio book cheaper.

For example, while an abridged version of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer can be bought from www.audiobookgiftshop.com for $11.75, the CD can be bought for $27 on the Amazon website.

These CD format costs almost double that amount. Of course, its not that they want to rip you off - it's simply because it costs much more to produce CDs than it does to produce downloadable audio files.

Three, when you turn off your CD player while listening to an audio book, you won't be able to resume from the particular spot you left off. With an audio file, you can begin from the exact same spot you left off.

And with CDs it can be frustrating when driving because each time you turn off your car, it would mean restarting the audio book or trying to locate exactly where you stopped.

Of course there are modern and more advanced CD players that can now save your location when you turn off your car, thereby allowing you to resume at the exact same spot you left off.

This won't work when you turn off the car AND take out the CD. But it will work with a downloadable audio file!

Four, because audio books are mainly just narration, many users don't see why they should spend the extra money to buy CDs because of issues of recording quality when they can get near enough the same quality with files on an mp3 player or iPod.

Their argument is that if it was sound "quality" they wanted, they would go for audio books in CD formats, but sound quality is the same with downloadable files and CDs when it comes to audio books.

In more succinct terms - "the voice of humans (without drums and other musical paraphernalia) has very little to gain from the depth and clarity that comes with digital recordings in CD format!

So have a look at a quality online audio bookshop like www.audiobookgiftshop.com and find yourself some exciting audio action!
