books on tape
Hi everybody! I've added a few books on tape to my inventory. They're mystery/crime type novels. All the packaging looks pretty worn but the cassettes themselves look great. I thought I'd post in here because I know finding just audio books can be kind of difficult on BM.

Audio Book formats and type
Does anyone know if there's a way to easily determine whether an audio is unabridged or chopped? I hate abridged so avoid it like the plague. In future as I add titles form my personal collection I'll be putting unabridged in the listing.

| (13 years ago) | They are. Just make sure somewhere in the title or description they're listed as CD or Cassette.

- Michael | | (13 years ago) | I have a couple of audio (CD and cassettes) that I am willing to part with. I have not listed them cause I didn't think they were swappable in BM.
- Clara | | (13 years ago) | I prefer tapes as you can just start again from where you stopped. With CDs you have to try to get back to the right place, which is difficult
- Doreen | | (13 years ago) | Tapes are still fine. Many of us still have drives in our cars.
- Michael | | (13 years ago) | Look in my inventory. I have a bunch and I try to make sure somewhere they're labeled as audio.
- Michael | | (13 years ago) | I'm looking for books on CD for my mother. Has anyone come up with a good way to search for these? I feel like I'm trying to find a needle in a haystack...
If there's some on your shelf, let me know. She'll listen to anything, and I've got a ton of credits to spend.
- MostFavoriteAunt | | (13 years ago) | I hope you find lots. Cassettes are plentiful.
- Nicholas | | (13 years ago) | Margot, you're an angel. I have searched and searched for audio books on BM for my blind father with limited success -- and even requested help from BM == and they never gave me this simple tip.
- peachfuzz | | (13 years ago) | Thanks for the explanation.
- Nicholas | | (13 years ago) | UPC = bar code
- Gail | | (13 years ago) | What's a UPC#?
- Nicholas | | (13 years ago) | A lot of times they say in the listing or under Topic. If they don't, I go to Amazon. If that doesn't tell me, I write the owner and ask them to look on the box. I am willing to go to any amount of trouble to avoid abridged books. :-)
Also, I have just noticed that there is a Topic entitled Books on Cassettes. Now that my cassette player no longer works, I need a Topic entitled Books on CD.
- Nicholas | | (13 years ago) | Would they have a different UPC # for abridged and unabridged?
- Liz | | (13 years ago) | Not a stupid question at all. Here's how I do it.
Go to Advanced Search
In Search For These Words, type Audio
Words appear in: select Publisher
Fill out the other fields as you like, but make sure you select more than the default 50 listings per page; otherwise the search doesn't always work correctly.
Run a second search the same way, but with Books on Tape in the Search field.
There! I've given away my secret.
- Nicholas | | (13 years ago) | OK, please excuse this 'stupid' question. I did not know I could BM audio books. How do I locate them?
- Kevinoleary | | (13 years ago) | No; all books are the same unless on special offer for reduced points. It isn't allowed to ask for more than the standard 1 or 2 points.
Do you have some spare audio books around I might mooch?
- Nicholas | | (13 years ago) | Do audio books take more than one or two credits due to the amount of CDs in the box?
- Clara | | (13 years ago) | One point but it's a pretty small fraction of the traffic here.
- Michael | | (13 years ago) | I usually double check on Amazon as well. I've noticed that for Unabridged books they seem to put that in big letters. But they don't always advertise that it's abridged and it's just noted in tiny letters on teh back somewhere: abridgement by so and so.
How many pts are audiobooks on bookmooch? I've always sent mine out through paperbackswap because they're 2 credits there.
- Msright | | (13 years ago) | I always check Amazon if the listing doesn't say and then I ask the owner, too.
- Nicholas | | (13 years ago) | If an audio book is abridged, the original package usually says so, if unabridged, you can usually find that information on the package as well. On those that don't say, I consider them to be abridged... but whether that's the actual truth or not, I can't say. Publishers really SHOULD be proud to acknowledge that they are putting out the full, unabridged version in audio format where they are telling the truth... and be required to state that the product is the abridged version in such cases where that's true.
On one audio book I recently gave to someone via Paperback Swap, the only notice of abridgement on the package was a small statement at the end of the synopsis stating the author had approved that abridgement. You would need to read everything on the box to spot that... :( so no, on a lot of audio books, there is no easy way to tell which version you've got.

RECORDED MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS in Hebrew
I have a load of cd's of weekly RECORDED MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS (MP3 COMPATIBLE) in Hebrew, dating from June until now. I recieve them once a week and when I finish listening, I can give them away. Do you think anyone in BM would be interested in these?
Here are what they include:
a selection of articles from the week-end newspapers, finance and sport, and a choice of articles the women's newspapers Horim Veyeladim, Menta and Haim Acherim. From time to time the disk also include Eretz Acheret and Ha’ayin Hashvi’it.

| (13 years ago) | the cd's ARE from the library for the blind in Israel. Once we recieve them we are allowed to keep them. I thought it would be a waste throwing them away and there are people who might want to listen to them.
Thank you for the suggestions. I will try to list some.
- Michal | | (13 years ago) | Michal,
Was going to suggest contacting NAVH, and it still might be a possibility, (National Assn. for the Visually Handicapped). However, I see they have been "acquired" by Lighthouse.
Another thought is try listing a couple and see if you get any takers. We are a pretty broad community here at BM.
