Download 30 Free mp3 Audiobook Files Now

As well as making your whole music collection truly mobile, mp3 players enable you to carry a virtual library around with you as well.

Almost every book written that is genuinely worth reading can now be accessed in the form of an audiobook.

Quality audiobooks are available pretty much all over the internet, and have many advantages over their printed siblings, the main one being the convenience of being able to take them anywhere with you.

Audiobooks are not only weightless, bulkless and supremely portable, but they also tend to cost less than the printed version of the same book. In addition, top online audiobook stores like TalkAlive.com are open 24/7, and any audiobook title purchased can be downloaded merely seconds after the purchase is completed.

Currently, audiobook sales make up around 15% of total book sales worldwide.

However, given their huge convenience and accessibility, at a point in world history when leisure time is at a marked premium, and things just keep on getting busier every day, this percentage will inevitably increase dramatically.

Audiobooks are also the ultimate "multitasking" tool. You can take the dog for a walk, dig the garden, paint the house or take the commuter train to the office, all whilst listening to your audiobook.

And, with multitudinous titles available in all categories of book, from fiction to inspirational, religious to educational, business, juvenile titles, classics, language learning, TV and radio shows, there is absolutely no reason whilst such times should not be used to genuinely enhance your life.

Never tried listening to an audiobook? Well, now you've got no excuse, as I've found 30 free titles available for absolutely no cost at www.TalkAlive.com.

I'd thoroughly recommend that you head right over there, (AFTER finishing reading this article, of course) and get them now, so that you can hear what I am talking about.

Incidentally, even if you don't have an mp3 player, its not a problem. You can download the free books and then listen to them on your PC, or burn them on to a standard CD (no special software required – you can use Windows Media Player) so that you can listen at home or in the car on the way to work.

The one hour BBC comedy audiobook is especially recommended, although strolling around the mall giggling uncontrollably does tend to get you some very strange looks!

So, music and audiobooks. Enjoyment and learning. All enabled by your ownership of an mp3 player.

Thus, we have another factor that should influence whether you buy an mp3 player, and, if so, whether you go for the high street branded name, or whether you decide to buy a cheap m3 player.

Of course, the vast majority of p3 player purchasers will buy their mp3 player principally to listen to music on the go.

However, once you have listened to a couple of audiobooks, take a few moments to consider what you will listen to most of the time.

If, for example, it is classical music, then the sound quality of the p3 player that you purchase will be of paramount importance. If, however, you are going to spend the majority of your time listening to the spoken word, in the form of audiobooks or podcasts, then sound quality is not quite so critical.

This is not to say that the sound quality of cheap mp3 players in necessarily poor. Some cheap mp3 players are absolutely tremendous on this score!

No, it just means that, if you are looking to buy a cheap mp3 player and you still want great sound quality, then you need to be much more careful.

But, don't concern yourself overmuch, as I have already tested many of the cheap mp3 players on the market, and you can find my unbiased "Top 6" recommended players on my BuyCheapMp3Player.info website!
