This look good. I love audiobooks and I love the Creative Commons.

I gave it a try. Not bad. I don't usually listen to audio book on PPC. I tried Audible.com once and didn't actually get anything because of my low usage. I just want to find out from those who listen to audio books or magazine on their PPC, is this the normal size?

It depends on the book. The Hobbit at Audible is 6-7 hours long.

Thanks, Ed.

I am wondering about file size. Probably need another SD card just for all the audio books.
