Sandy:

My HBP, as well as all of the other books, is on one CD and I am quite 
satisfied with the audio quality. I love having the books on MP3. I don't know how 
to do any of that sort of thing but my son does. I had to buy a CD/Mp3 player 
to listen to them on, but it was not expensive (about $25) and now I can take 
the entire audio book with me where ever I go. I love that. My next investment, 
after a new computer, is going to be a portable DVD player so I can take the 
movies with me. 

Sandy, who thinks the person who started this thread (sorry, can't remember 
who) should consider keeping the MP3's, although they were very over-priced.
