| MP3 Books |
Over the last decade audio book listening has increased phenomenally due to the increased selection of titles available in various genre and the audible quality of recorded books. As time became a major constraint for many book readers, listening to audio books has become more convenient, specially plugging an audio book in tape or CD format. The availability of many audio book players in CD and MP3 format, specially with book mark technology has increased the popularity of MP3 audio books. An audio book in MP3-CD format can hold 16 hours of audio in one CD that replaces the popular books on CD format. One consumer explained "Why would anyone want to carry 15 CD‘s when they can listen to an entire book on 1 CD?". With the introduction of digital MP3 players such as the popular iPod, downloading audio books has become more common place. The International Recording Media Association (IRMA) says that they have stopped keeping track of cassette manufacturing because it is a declining business.
