Did you know that A trucker working to the legal limit in the U.S. can rack up to 3,432 driving hours a year - nearly 10 times that of the average New York commuter or enough to listen to the unabridged audio book version of Bill Clinton's My Life 77 times? (Publishing Trends, Market Partners International, September 2005).

Think of the way audio books could optimize your time management. Audio books can turn the day to a 26 hours day. Yes, audio books can add extra two hours each day. Still not convinced?

Did you know that The average rush hour driver will spend an additional 62 hours stuck in traffic -- at standstill -- each year and that More than 97 million workers drive alone to work each day.

Well, enough with that pile of useless data, Think about yourself -- what have you been doing while driving -- Listening to the radio? Making unnecessary calls with your mobile phone? Wasting valuable time?

Now close your eyes and imagine you could read the last edition of the New York Times, Read the last Harry Potter book or learn Chinese -- all simultaneously while driving your car. Now open your eyes and stop dreaming, you can do it all now. The only difference is that you are going to use a new method of reading -- listening to audio books.

And it is so easy: You may get audio books in different formats from books on tapes and audio books on CD to downloadable audio books. You can get it from different sources -- libraries, book and music stores and online audio book sources. You could buy audio books, rent audio books and even get free audio books.

According to eBrain Market Research survey, 71% of the audio book listeners listen to them on long car trips.

Believe me; I couldn't wait getting into the heavy morning traffic listening to the audio book "IT" by Stephen king. In fact, I couldn't resist listening to it at home after work. I love audio books.

Don’t you just hate popping a CD into your drive and having to guess at what to do next? Yeah, me too! As a software/multimedia developer your aim is to educate and/or entertain your users, so giving them a CD which takes them straight to the heart of your content will only enhance their experience. So, before mailing your master disc to your favourite CD duplication company, here are a few ideas to think about...
Video CDs have been around for a while, but the quality they delivered was poor. The high capacity of DVD, on the other hand, allows for really great image quality – much better than VHS – along with cinema quality sound. Originally, DVD stood for Digital Video Disc. Then, in recognition of that fact that the silver platters could also be used to store audio and computer data, it became Digital Versatile Disc. As that’s pretty clumsy, it’s now evolved to the stage where DVD doesn’t really stand for anything.
CD duplication does not sound like a difficult or tricky process, but it can be if you do not choose the right company.
The floppy disk as we all know it has been around on the market since approximately 1969, and even though we only seem to have a blur picture of what it is, it was actually the first truly successful removable storage device and completely revolutionised computer disk storage.
