Well, Peg, my car was inherited from my mother who passed away last year, and there is neither a cassette or CD player (feeling a little deprived).  

Being a technical writer (dull and dry is my world), I usually listen to CDs while working but I also have a little cassette player with earphones that I can bring in.  I was looking on amazon.com and think I'll probably order the last two books on CD rather than cassette just to make a comparison.

I could only get the first two books and they only had cassettes at the bookstore.  I know that the CDs cost much more, can anyone tell me the difference between the two media?

  Welcome to you, and to all the other newcomers.

  I believe that the recording is exactly the same, whether you get it on CDs or cassettes.  I simply like the ease of CDs, because I can "skip" immediately to one of about 15 tracks on each CD to listen to a favorite part (instead of rewinding/fast forwarding a tape and trying to estimate where the part is I'm trying to
  find).

  It also depends, I suppose on where you want to play it.  Do you have a CD player or a tape player in your car?
