trallyus The IDEA Man Registered: 11/10/03 Posts: 28283 Loc: ohio	Quote: *Meow Kitty said:* I'm finding most the books that are selling for around $20 online at the Library on CD. Is there any reason to not get them from the library? Hey Amy, A while back Adam Curry mentioned a site for free audible books that were from the public domain and read by real people You may want to check them out at http://librivox.org/librivox-catalogue/ They also link to a ton of audio stuff that would make good listening to as well like the mercury theatre at http://www.mercurytheatre.info/ and a ton of literary podcasts as well It is a great untapped resource for audible books and great audible stories as well. _________________________ We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. -Aesop, 620 BC - 560 BC

Amy Crazy Cat Woman Registered: 10/25/03 Posts: 16896 Loc: Litter Box	Score!!!! I went to my library, which happens to be one of the worst in the system, and found John Adams by David McCullogh. Right now I'm listening to "The Know it All" by A J Jacobs. Its funny as all heck. I downloaded that from audible.com The cds from the library work but for some reason they don't go into the audiobook portion of the ipod so I have to remember where I left off. Thanks for the link I'm checking it out now. _________________________

trallyus The IDEA Man Registered: 11/10/03 Posts: 28283 Loc: ohio	Only bought audiobooks end up in the premade audiobook list If you want, you can create a playlist called *Audiobook and copy your cd audiobook rips to that and it should do the same thing Try ripping the cds in aac format as opposed to mp3 format as I think aac format is book markable. _________________________ We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. -Aesop, 620 BC - 560 BC

Amy Crazy Cat Woman Registered: 10/25/03 Posts: 16896 Loc: Litter Box	I'm wondering if I put this new audio book in the audible folder if it will hold my place. I really didn't want to do that but.... _________________________

Amy Crazy Cat Woman Registered: 10/25/03 Posts: 16896 Loc: Litter Box	I think I have it sort of figured out. Put the audio book cd in. When the cd is in the tracks will be listed. right click on each as you go down and select get info and on the info tab use the drop down to pick audio book. If anyone comes up with a faster way let me know asap please. _________________________

Amy Crazy Cat Woman Registered: 10/25/03 Posts: 16896 Loc: Litter Box	What I suggested only put the file in the audio book area. In order to make your book markable for free you have to click on the file then get info. then options then check the boxes remember playback position and skip when shuffling. _________________________

Joseph Fanboi of the Goddess of Oi Registered: 11/10/04 Posts: 13770 Loc: Savannah, GA & Atlanta, GA	Are you encoding that in AAC or MP3? I did not know one could mark points for playback in MP3 format.

Joseph Fanboi of the Goddess of Oi Registered: 11/10/04 Posts: 13770 Loc: Savannah, GA & Atlanta, GA	I just looked, and it can be done with MP3 files, too. I've learned something new, today.

Joseph Fanboi of the Goddess of Oi Registered: 11/10/04 Posts: 13770 Loc: Savannah, GA & Atlanta, GA	I don't actually use iTunes to encode audio. I read, somewhere, that the encoding engine wasn't very good. I use LAME, instead (MP3 at 320kpbs).
