some audiobooks websites

These are two websites I visit to look for free audiobooks.

OpenCulture.com

LibriVox.org

iTunes has quite some audiobooks for sale at reasonably fair prices and also some free podcasts. I am finding audiobooks interesting, One can also listen to plays. Pretty cool huh?
I discovered audiobooks a few months ago, when I was looking for something on iTunes. And I got hooked. Especially after eye surgery 2 weeks ago, even though I kept drawing and writing. Can’t help it!

Audiobook conversion tutorial (iTunes):

After you downloaded a .mp3 audiobook,

1- Add it to the iTunes library

2- Right-click on the file and select ‘Convert to AAC’

3- Go to the iTunes folder on your hard-disk and look for the newly converted file, it should be a .m4a file now.

4- On your Folder Options panel, uncheck ‘Hide extensions for known file types’.

5- Click on the .m4a file and rename the extension .m4b

This is iTunes audiobook format and will allow you to listen to the file, stop it, turn off iTunes/iPod and listen again later from where you left. This is not possible with .mp3 files, for instance.

Hope it helps!
