sorry for the excitement  I must have posted it like an hour before the deal died, since me and a goon scooped up the offer before it apparently expired.

For the record, I chose Gravity’s Rainbow. Apparently, Amazon’s R&D department turned Audible into a horse that just finished 3rd in The Kentucky Derby so a audiobook on American Pharoah is being given away for free until the 9th.

I know I am probably late but here is what I use. This will play a single large MP3 no problem, or put tons of little MP3's together into 1 book also. It shows cover art and you can load books through web interface easy. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mp3-audiobook-player-pro/id889580711?mt=8

I saved my mp3 audiobooks as Podcasts back when I had an iPhone. It worked well enough.

I have a bunch of downtime at work and I'm just about caught up on my Audible books, so I'm looking for a recommendation. I love me some horror novels, and although I'm hesitant to tackle them as audiobooks since I really enjoy reading them at whatever pace suits me, I'd like to give one a spin. Any particularly good horror audiobooks out there?

I since gave Overcast 10$ to try out their uploading feature to see if it would work for audiobooks, as that app has perfect features such as auto-speed and such. Turns out it just turns out its own Dropbox feature where you can upload up to 2Gbps to their server which then streams down to you. Definitely not what I was looking for.

I used that in combination with Dropbox to put some audiobooks into Overcast. I found that it sorta messed with the pacing of the books though and didn’t like it that much.

I ended up getting Lauren Beukes's Broken Monsters, which is really well done so far. They have a different reader for each of the five(?) different narrators, so that's cool.

i picked up the sherlock holmes canon for a single audible credit read by stephen fry. As long as his voice isn't obnoxious to you it is a heck of a deal.

It should be noted that The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes is not in the American release since most of the stories in it are still under copyright to Doyle’s estate. The reading by Simon Vance does include them though.

The John Telfer narration of Sherlock Holmes is probably my favorite, I'm not sure if Audible carries it though.

It's a great package, and I believe Fry wrote introductions as well, which provides a bit of background to the stories. Doyle however, was very fond of using the word "ejaculated" to describe someone's speech.

I don’t see any of the major narrators so you are going to have to listen to the samples, few of them are non-english or abridged so it will narrow it down. Personally I liked Flo Gibson‘s voice.

I'm listening to Gardens of the Moon and generally I like the narrator and story, but the narrator's voicing of the character Krupe is grating as hell. It's so bad that I looked up if the character gets killed off any time soon, but no such luck. Looks like he is a regular presence throughout the series. I don't think I've considered giving up on an audiobook based on the interpretation of one character before.

I think they only put you in returning prison if you've done it too many times. I returned three books at once, then couldn't do it for a month or so.

I returned the Stand when I was 8 hours in. gently caress that poo poo. You can always return - you just have to do it via chat. They take away your ability to do it automatically after a while (but restore it eventually).

I'm glad to see learning ally getting some love in this thread - I used to be a volunteer voiceover talent for them, I've done portions of well over a hundred of their audiobooks. They're a great service.

Cithen posted:Heresy about Ralph Lister's portrayal of Kruppe. I thought he did really well in making Kruppe seem like the slimy squirming self-indulgent manipulative toad that we all know and love. I'm about 13 hours into House of Chains and while Michael Page is a good narrator it was really hard to adjust to a new VA who pronounces things differently and gives new voices to the characters you're already familiar with.

I've been listening to the audiobook of Gormenghast, and I'm absolutely loving it - which is weird, given I found the actual-book-version impenetrable. I think it's because I can draw while I listen, and let the atmosphere sink in rather than reading and being all 'why is it taking three pages for a dude to walk across a room, ffs'. I'd really recommend it, is what I'm saying. Best book I've listened to in a long time.
