Shiny Happy CD Audio Books
If you were given a choice to carry around a box of tapes or two compact discs what would you choose? Chances are you would go with the compact discs because it meant less to carry and less to mess with. CD audio books are the lighter, more compact version of their cousin the audio book tape. Ease of use is just one of the many assets the CD version of a book possesses. It is also heartier and far lighter to carry around.
There is nothing more irritating than to be in the middle of a story and having to switch out tapes. To add insult to injury is having to stop, go looking for the tape only to find it has come up missing. Even worse than that is to find the tape only to discover it is not playable. CD audio books navigate around these problems by being more condensed. It is also harder to ruin a compact disc than it is a tape.
Compact discs can also be downloaded to a computer to be transferred to an Ipod or MP3 player. This allow for ease of use. The disc is placed into the player, the files are transferred to a created folder and then the book can be listened to or downloaded to another means of play. It also provides a back up in case the compact disc is ever damaged.
There is another reason why CD audio books are so popular. The quality of sound is a vast improvement over tape. The background noise is eliminated greatly and there is no distortion of the speaker's voice. If a publishing company pays good money to an actor or actress with a very distinct voice, this is an important facet to making the audio book popular and selling lots of copies.
Until there is a more popular format that offers affordability, ease of use, and practicality, the compact disc is going to be the preferred format for audio books. The prices are reasonable, though they are higher than their print version, and they have proven to be durable. Finding CD audio books is very easy as large book store chains and even grocery stores often carry an assorted collection.
If you find yourself in a rush and not having the time to devote to sitting down to read the latest spy thriller, pick up some CD audio books. Most discount retail stores carry a compact disc player for fewer than ten dollars and most vehicles now come standard with a CD player. You might be surprised at the joy you can find by listening to an audio book on CD.
