What can yo u do? If you have a computer, you can download the discs to the computer and listen to them there. Just know that if you used the Microsoft Windows Media Player, the built-in music system on your computer, to make discs, the player can handle them). (note: WMA, or Windows Media Audio files are Microsoft’s attempt to create their own MP3 monopoly.
Look carefully at the CD player – it will probably tell you right on the dashboard, as my 2007 Honda does. The biggest problem is with older CD players in older cars – if your car is more than 7-8 years old or so, its CD player may not be able to read the discs. A new DVD player or Blu-Ray player can probably handle it. Like the BluRay disc, not all players can handle this tight format. Audiobooks aren’t listened to over subwoofers and boomboxes, cranked to the max. Technically, the sound quality is a little poorer on the MP3 disc, but unless you have an extremely expensive, high-tech system, you will never notice the difference. That’s why a regular audiobook may have 12 discs, but the MP3 audiobook only has one or two.
An MP3 file is merely the same sound file found on an audio disk, squished tighter, so you can fit more into a small space. When you listen to your iPod, you are generally listening to an MP3 file. It’s the same files, just squishedrealtight.Īnyone familiar with putting music on an iPod (or an MP3 player, which is any iPod-like music player that isn’t made by Apple) is familiar with MP3 files. As Blu-Ray is just a little different than a DVD (bandwidth, essentially), so MP3 (short for MPEG) discs are almost, but not quite, the same as a regular CD. Without getting into the deep technicalities of it, chances are, you probably do. This label often creates instant panic and confusion – “I want this audiobook, but I don’t think I have an MP3 player.” Many of our newer (and a few of our older) audiobooks are labeled “MP3-CD AUDIOBOOK – THIS WILL ONLY PLAY ON AN MP3-CD PLAYER”.
