My library just redid the whole website, adding a video to show people how to do the download. It explains that the system won't work with iPods because the books are Windows Media files. My DS gave me a new mp3 player as a Christmas gift, one with a larger capacity. It's rechargeable. However, a charge won't last the length of a book, and when I plug it back in to the USB hub to charge it, the book reverts to the beginning. So I'm back to using my first mp3 player, which runs on a battery and works just fine.

I haven't read any of the "In Death" books, but I listened to four of them and was quite addicted. Too bad you've read them all. :-) You might enjoy other mystery/suspense audio books. I liked anything by Robert B. Parker, especially the Spenser series narrated by Joe Montegna. Lots of dialogue, and funny banter between Spenser and Hawk. Jeffrey Deaver's books are quite different from Parker's, but quite engrossing and well done in audio form. Whatever you get, be sure to get UNabridged versions!

I live with my audio books and little CD player at my side! My days are filled with blocks of "mindless chores" time and that's when the books really shine. At first I did have to "train my brain" to let the audio book be the foreground and the focus, and the folding laundry/food prep/cleaning/dusting/putting away tasks became the background 'noise.' Once I made that change in my "mental wiring" I totally enjoy the books. One day I folded and put away three loads of laundry, changed the bed linens, and damp mopped three floors...without realizing it. I had been so focused on the Sookie Stackhouse (True Blood) book I was "reading" I hadn't noticed my "must do" list had shrunk. Just this past weekend I bought unabridged copies of The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo; The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. I can't wait to start listening to them. Getting the fall cleaning and season switching done will be a breeze this year! Right now I'm lisening to Spencer Quinn's third "Chet and Bernie" book To Fetch a Thief.
