Amazon has the MP3 CD for $6.99.

I have to confess I haven't shopped around because they don't really interest me, so I was judging by the $19.99 list price. But $6.99 for the MP3 is much better, so thanks for sharing that for people who are interested. [snow_smiley]

I think the $19.99 price is for the multi CD format. The cheaper price is for a single disk in MP3 format. I am buying them as MP3s. CD audio technically is higher quality, but you won't hear it on a single reader recording. The only music are the opening and closing themes.

As an Audible subscriber, I get discounts, and the DS books cost me $7.34 for download to Kindle Fire.

I don't know if the $19.99 CD version is any different from any other CD version. I've seen the $19.99 list price for all these CDs and none of them have mentioned them being multiple CD sets. But who knows? [idontknow]

There are definitely two versions of each release. For example Barnabas Collins Vs. the Warlock is available on Amazon in two formats. One is an MP3 CD and one is a CD Audio, multi-CD pack. You can tell because the cheaper one specifies MP3 format. Also the dimensions and weight differ.

OK, I didn't completely understand what you were saying. Like I said, I haven't been paying attention so I didn't realize the MP3 versions are also on CD. I was thinking of the MP3 versions as downloads because on Amazon and other places I've downloaded MP3 versions of many music artists' work rather than buying their actual CDs. Though I can't say I've ever noticed where it says the $19.99 version is a multi CD pack - but it could just easily be that when I've seen them it's simply been on the wrong Web sites. [snow_wink]

OH I see. Yes, MP3's are smaller than CD audio files but there's a loss of quality. It's hardly noticeable to most people and usually I can't tell at all. If you have a CD with MP3 files you can get maybe 10 hours or so of high quality audio on one disk. Some people really want the full range of audio and will pay extra to buy multiple disks.
Music is rarely sold this way on CD. Most of the time MP3 disks are spoken word works.
