Despite how great CDs are, many people still prefer audiocassettes to them, especially when it comes to listening to audio books.
Here is a list of reasons to explain;
1. Audio books in CD format can only contain a maximum of seventy five minutes of audio whereas audio tapes can hold an extra 15 minutes, sometimes even more, of audio content.
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.
This means you would need maybe one or two tapes for a specific audio book when you would need much more for the same audio book on CD.
2. The extra cost in buying CD format audio books, the same product can be much less expensive as tape.
For example, while purchasing the unabridged version of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" on twelve tapes has been found for only $31.96 on Barnes & Noble website, the CD format from the same Barnes & Noble costs almost double that amount – exactly $55.96 for 17 sets of CDs!
Of course, its not that they want to rip you off because it costs much more to produce CDs than it does to produce audiocassettes.
Three, when you put off your CD player while listening to an audio book, you won't be able to resume from the particular spot you left off.
But when you have a tape, you can simply press play and you'll be where you left off.
With CDs it can be frustrating when driving because each time you put off your car, it would mean restarting the audio book or trying to locate where you stopped.
Of course there are modern and more advanced CD players that now save your location on a disk when you turn off your car, thereby allowing you to resume at the exact same spot you left off.
this doesn't happen if you stop the car and remove the CD. But it will work with an audiocassette!
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 the exact quality with audiocassettes.
They would argue that the quality of the content is greater on CD, when actually the quality is the same for 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!
An excellent source that I have found for audio book downloads is Spoken Network. You can find them at:

Old habits die hard, they say. How right they are.
I am a novel freak and have been since the 4th grade when I read an amazing novel that started me down the road of reading.
The thrill of reading stayed with me all the way through my education, going to college and even when I started my career. Nothing stopped this craze, not even when I got married and had my first child.
As you can imagine, my life is changing - my kids are growing up, my career is taking off, so I'm have much less time to do the things I really enjoy, like reading novels.
Being a die-hard at anything I do, I continued to read novels, albeit, sadly, I took 3 months
to get through only one book, not the three hours I used to spend reading when I had more free time.
I would read a chapter today, put the novel aside. Then read the next chapter later, in the next couple of weeks when I could get a break. Read another chapter in another 2 or 3 weeks. And so on, until I would finish just one novel.
I didn't like this and I wanted a way of still getting the value of a full novel in three hours like it used to take me, not the three months it now takes me to complete just one novel.
I started asking for a way out.
Thankfully, there was a way out…
In audio books!
I simply buy the novel I want to buy, not in hardcover or paperback, but in audio book format --containing the exact same content of the novel in spoken-word!
Now I don't have the limitations I used to have with "reading" my favorite novels.
I listen to my novel in audio book format when getting ready in the morning, getting dressed and working out. When I'm travelling to my office, I pick up from where I last stopped.I listen to it while on my lunch hour at work too. And before driving back home from work, I complete the remaining part of the novel.
I would take around three hours to read a whole book.
Phew… how I love how much time audio books save me through each day and I am still getting all the same value!
If you haven't seen for yourself how awesome the advanatges of audio books are yet, don't hesitate.
Apart from novels you can get almost any kind of book in audio book format. You can now find business audio books, professional audio books, motivational audio books, etc.
Go on the internet and find the book you've never had the time to read but always wanted to do so. It's easy… using audio books!
Simply use any of the major search engines like Google to search for phrases such as "the title of the book + audio book".You are given the result of web sites where you are able to purchase the title of your choice in audio book format.
Yes, it's now far easier to find the audio book format of that favorite book of yours than you imagined!

You may have read another article I wrote recently, about how hectic my life was before I found audio books. Well I wanted to tell you more about how much my life has changed since then.
I have added so many more hours to my life because of audio books – it’s amazing that I’ve managed to gain back at least the 2 extra hours that were taken when I was promoted.
How?
First, I now get a 2 hour value of books every morning before I get to work.
During the 1 hour it usually takes me to prepare for work, I listen to an audio book.
I usually spend an hour commuting to and from the office, and I now listen to an audio book during my travels.
During the 1 hour or so I spend to have lunch and break times, I listen to an audio book.
I have managed to gain back an incredible three hours a day from listening to audiobooks in the morning, afternoon and evening.
I can still work hard in my job, while continuing to enjoy listening to books.
Second of all, I now play an audio book for my children before bed, instead of them having to listen to tired old Dad struggling for an hour. It was a bit of a shock to learn that they prefer listening to an audio book than to Dad.
I think I heard my daughter mumbling about how the voice from the audio book is “more awake than dad’s”. It just goes to show how tired I can get on some nights while trying to read a bedtime story to my children.
Now… aren’t audio books wonderful?
If you have had similar problems to me, you can gain back your time by taking advantage of the amazing value of audio books – especially audio book downloads – these are fantastic value.
Many, many best-sellers are now available as an audio book, and they really do make it far more interesting.
