Simply Audiobooks Adds MP3 CD Audio Books in Time for Busy Thanksgiving Travels

Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) November 24, 2004 -- Simply Audiobooks, the largest online CD audio book rental company in the United States and Canada, today announced it has added MP3 CDs to its current collection so customers will have increased access to audio books as they brave the Thanksgiving holiday drive.
We have been planning to expand our conventional CD collection to include the new format for customers with MP3 CD compatible devices," said Sean Neville, CEO of Simply Audiobooks. With the upcoming Thanksgiving traffic rush, people are going to need something to help them pass the time in their cars, so we thought we would use the opportunity as a trial initiative for the MP3 CD format."
Most audio book users listen to audio books in their cars, allowing them to make the most of otherwise unproductive time. With the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) predicting this Thanksgiving to be the busiest in five years, Americans can expect to spend a lot of time in their vehicles this year. This Thanksgiving will be the busiest holiday season in terms of traffic congestion, so be prepared for slow traffic and back-ups everywhere. Allow a lot of time to get where you want go," said Liz Neblett, NHTSA spokesperson.
There is no better way to ease the frustration of bumper-to-bumper traffic than to pop in a good book and escape the highway chaos," said Neville. We recognize the growing demand for MP3 CDs in the audio books industry and we believe this format could complement our core offering of conventional CDs, the most popular audible book format today."
MP3 CDs can store up to 16 hours of audio content onto a single disc, which is good news for unabridged audio book lovers who enjoy listening to books in their entirety. Classics like Jules Vernes 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," the latest MP3 CD addition by Simply Audiobooks, would normally be recorded on 10 conventional discs, but are now available on one MP3 CD. With the new format, customers do not have to change discs as often and they can take advantage of carrying and storing fewer CDs.
