[Publib] audiobooks question

[Lyla Hoffman]

After reading the last several emails regarding audiobooks, I wanted to suggest a children's site that offers several classic children's audio stories for free. The site is called Candlelightstories.com. 

Here's a fantastic audio version of The Three Little Pigs:

http://www.candlelightstories.com/audio/three-little-pigs/

There is a ton of free games and animated movies on the site as well. 

Enjoy,

Lyla

It may just be me, but I have a TON of trouble transferring the MP3 CDs onto my I-tunes for use on my I-pod.  There is a long, involved workaround, but it lessens the quality of the audio in the process.  I do it when I have a book to review and it gets sent to me in MP3, but otherwise, I stay away from them.

Not all CD players are capable of playing MP3s. That would be the negative (and it's a big one). They are MUCH cheaper, and that's the positive. My 2¢.   Linda Cannon Circulation Supervisor/Collection Development Librarian Joplin (MO) Public Library www.joplinpubliclibrary.org

Are there any benefits/negatives to MP3-CD over traditional CD audiobooks (other than they are much cheaper)? Thanks.          _______________________________________________
