Ok, we've had a brag about the size of our MP3 music folders, so how about we have a brag about the size of our Audio book folders. I'm sure I'm not the only audio book collector here, so come on tell us about it.
I currently have 270 GB of books all audio, mostly mp3 some ogg, though I'm slowly replacing them due to personal preference. the mijority of my collection is also at 64 KB, which is my prefered quality for ripping.
I've got a couple thousand books, all in PDF format however Some in other formats as well, but only like 10 audio.
I can't believe I'm admitting this in public Kev but your's is bigger than mine! *LOL*. I currently have 106 gig of audio books in my collection. Not sure exactly how many books that amounts too, but it is quite a few hundred.

I used to have about 60gb, but lost them all due to a harddrive crash. I do have quite a huge collection of books in text format, somewhere in the neighborhood of 3gb though. Unless, old radio plays cvount. In witch case, I currently have about 40gb of audiobooks
I have about 20 audio books all in mp3 of course.
Obviously, I am running a much smaller computer than most of you, so can't brag about size, but I believe that size doesn't really count. ahem.
Anyway, I have a collection of about 250 authors about 1095 books.

Ok, I just had a quick look, I have aproximately 1250 books by aproximately 140 authors making up that 270 GB.
I have 2,071 books in text format and 25 audio books on cd. I use bookshare and Web braille for my books in text format but does anyone have any resources for getting more audiobooks or books in text format?
Thanks alot, Kyle
lol I just started collecting audio books. I've need to get another hard drive so I can continue downloading more. Right now, I've only got about 3.5 GBs. but I guess I have to start somewhere. hehe
Michelle
I guess I come in second, I have 130 gigs totallying about 1050 books, 270 authors
OK, i probably come absolute last but thought I'd give you all a laugh and tell you I have only 9, yes nine audiobooks, totalling file size of 1.86 gigabytes! Not much I know. I used to have about 42GB until my hard drive developed a loose connection and almost went bang!

This is sad. I only have four audio books on CD, and one on cassette. Gotta get more.
I have about 30 books on audio both cassette and CD. But I plan to get more. I'm just learning about bookshare and will join that when they accept my application. Can anyone explain to me how you download a book. I'm new to this. It seems like it would be a good way to get books and probably cheaper too.
No, no, I win. Well, that is, I win in the loosing catagory, as i can brag the smallest collection of 0 audio books on the computer, in MP3 or on CD, and a wapping 1 book, Seize The Night by Dean Koontz on cassette tape that Jeff and company purchased for my Christmass present in 06.
I have 16 books
Harry potter 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
dark jewels trilagy: 1, 2
fire keeper saga 1, 2, 3
time quartet 1, 2, 3, 4
eregon
highlander the element of fire
My collection's small. But if it grows as half as fast as my music collection, I'll need 5 terabytes of storage. lol
I have also added Eragon and Eldest to my collection. For Christmas, I've asked for the first four Harry Potter books on CD.
Well, my audio book collection isn't the biggest but not as small as some I've heard about. As of this writing my audio books folder is about 25 GB and has about 14 different authors. My largest collection is by Stephen King, with Dean Koontz coming in at a close second. I also have all of the HP books read by Jim Dale, and I'm still working on getting them read by Stephen Fry as well, can you ttell I'm a HP fan? LOL so again, not as big as some, but not as small as others.
Lol! Don't have any, but I'd like to get some. I got this audio book software for daissie or however you spell it. I have tons and tons of books in brf format though. Lmao! It's less than most of you all, but I am still expanding it, so no, not done yet.
ok, ok, so all you people brag about your collections. So I share a computer with my sister, and I am a jaws user. How do i go about starting a collection? I only have two audio books, and I bought them from i tunes. Well my sister did lol. What are some accessable and affordable web sites to download audio books from? Also, I think I'm getting a braille note some time in the future, is there a site, or sites that I can use to either purchase or download books and put them on my braille note? Thanks for the help. Oh, and one more thing, does anyone have the book High Noon by Nora Roberts, in either mp3 format, or on cassette that they can lend me. I'll give it back, I promise lol, and you can trust me with it.
Lol! The computer thing is quite a simple matter. Um, you just need to create another user for your sister.
Yes, for your braille-note, use this site. I am pretty sure you have heard of it before.

thanks, is there a good selection of books?
I suppose, but it's missing some books. They don't record everything. I am sure you won't die from it. I use it, and it quite satisfies me.
