Thing #22: ListenNJ

I’ve never had the urge to download an audio book. First, I rarely listen to audio books (not even while driving - I’d get way to distracted, resulting in a crash or missed narrative) and I hate having to download new programs to my computer (see, “Why I love YouTube“) and ListenNJ isn’t compatible with my iPod anyway (and OverDrive has been saying for years that they are working on Mac compatibility - phoey - I’ll be deaf before that happens). That being said, I’ve walked many partons through the steps, either over the phone (which is rather difficult with tyros) or in person on a Library PC. If I really want to listen to an audio book, I get it on CD from the library, import it to my iTunes and listen to it on my iPod. When I’m done, I delete it (they mess up my music folder!). But there are so few good audio CDs that I rarely even bother.
