I am in the process of transferring my Harry Potter CDs into my iTunes library. Book 1 is 7 CDs, and each CD has about 6 or 8 tracks. When I download a big book from Audible, they do it in a few big files. My unabridged copy of Our Mutual Friend, for instance, accounts for only 4 line items in my Audiobooks library on iTunes ( Read more... )
