Audio book is awesome

Update! That's right... Back to update this blog again
Not that anyone would care =p

Today I have just finished a book by Thomas Friedman called "The World is Flat", actually, I listen to the audio book in Windows Media Player at 2.0X speed. The experience is great, I get to finish this wonderful book in about 3 hours, which I otherwise would probably give up in the middle of it due to my short attention span.

I like it so much, that I think I am going to do this once I go back to work. I am going to go through my Amazon Wishlist and search them one by one on the company Library website. If they happen to have the audio book, I am gonna grab it right away! If they only have the book (which, they probably would, the library is huge), I would probably need to think about if I would actually go about reading it.


So the points of this post:
1. The World is Flat is an awesome book! Read or listen to it if you could.
2. Audio books are wonderful for people who can't read fast enough
3. Windows Media Player speed adjust feature RULES. Absolutely the best feature ever.
4. Portable audio players, support Audio book as a core scenario. iPod / iTunes already does that, so wake up and do it!
5. Windows Media Audio format has a voice codec that could compress an hour of audio down to about 10MB, and an audio book usually come in as 6 - 8 CDs.
