alt.binaries.sounds.audiobooks, but generally I'd convert them to
mp3's. I use Format Factory, a freebie program for that. Then I
discovered the audiobook reader I use doesn't care what the format is
and there are enough advantages to the m4b format that I've pretty
much stopped converting. In other words, I really don't care anymore
what the format is.
That being said, I think most of the audiobook thing is moving to
torrents. I am finding great advantages to torrents for posting. It
takes me about 10 minutes to get a torrent up and running. The James
Herbert books (19 of them) that I posted the torrent for would have
tied up my computer for the better part of a day. Regardless of
size, a torrent still only takes a few minutes.
The downside to the torrents is a good torrent site may be there one
day and absolutely gone the next never to be seen again.
