So I search the bittorrent sites and downloaded all the audio books I found interesting.  There are  over 10 of them.  Now, I have another delimma, how can I listen to the audio books?  My iPod shuffle is not very user friendly for mp3s in general, worse for audio books.  I have to press too many buttons to start playing when I start the car.  I want to get a real iPod but the current generation has been out on the market for almost half a year.  The next generation should be just around the corner.  I don&#8217;t want to spent several hundred dollars then see a price drop in a few weeks after my purchase.  I have to wait for the next iPod release cycle.  Then I can decide whether to buy the new generation at the same price or the old generation at a cheaper price.  For the mean time, I will resort to an ancient method, burning audio CDs.  Althought it is a bit wasteful burn the audio books to CDs, since mostly likely I will only listen them once.  However, just think about how much I would have to pay for if I buy the audio books.  The cost of blank CD is nothing.  I can also lent the audio book CDs to my friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found driving to and from work without audio books is really boring.
