    Default Cd or download?

    I read that stores are carrying fewer CDs because of the rise in digital downloads. So, how do you get your audiobooks?

    I only download stuff. I don't need to deal with multiple CDs that way. It's more convenient.

    I have imported all my CD's into iTunes; I don't even know where the original CD's are anymore. All my new purchases are via downloads. I think CD's are going by way of the Dodo bird!

    I agree. I would imagine CD sales are way down. Who would bother with them?

    I do digital downloads, but sometimes I take those PlayAway things out from the library. They're pretty convenient.

    I forgot about those things. How do PlayAways work? I've seen them in the airport. They are really expensive.

    They are a digital player all loaded up with a single audiobook. They bookmark your place and all, and are easy to use. I get them from the library. To buy them is, like $50!
