Finally!

Libraries where I live offer books on .mp3 on a CD disk.

I love listening to audio books when I travel. I am loading up now for my next trip (Mexico & Central America). Three books ready for upload to my mp3 player:

The Worst Journey in the World, by Apsley Cherry-Garrard

Running with the Bulls, My years with the Hemingways, by Valerie Hemingway

Northern Lights, by Nora Roberts

Ripping books from CD, in comparison, was slow & painful. Death to the audio CD.

Use the IMPORT function on your iTunes (or other inferior) music software to get the track order sorted correctly.

I am very happy with my Rio Cali waterproof mp3 player — but the way to go today is with the iPod Nano, the first good iPod.
