General information:
- What is contained on
the disc?
The disc contains the MP3 files and a single M4b file.
Each MP3 file represents a chapter or track of the unabridged audio book.
In most cases the single disc will include both the MP3 files and the M4b
file. For longer books, however, it may be necessary to include a second disc
and at times this may just contain the M4b file, where this applies the disc
will be clearly labelled.
- What is an MP3 file?
The MP3 file is the audio file which has been compressed
to a smaller size. As such it can only be played on MP3 compatible CD, DVD
and MP3 players, iPods, mobile phones, PCs and Apple Macs. All compatible
MP3 players are clearly marked with MP3 CD.
- What is an M4b file?
The M4b file is provided at no extra cost for the convenience
of iTunes users. This file contains all MP3 files as a single file. At this
time only iPod users can use the M4b file.
