For those of you looking for the Harry Potter audio MP3s on Napster, here are the number of seperate files for each series:

The Sorcerer's Stone: 12 files

Chamber of Secrets: 12 Files

Prisoner of Azkaban: 22 files

Goblet of Fire: 37 files


(It's better to use Napster 2 Beta 8, if you have it, due to the extended search features. I don't think the author is going to be hurting for cash at this point so enjoy!)

Oh, and if you're on a dialup internet connection, these files are about 14 Megs in length each. You will definitely be Napstering for these for a long period of time if you want them.

I just wanted you to be aware. Have fun!

Guru, being a Napster idiot, are there other on-line books available?

(My mom can't hold a book any more, and getting one's hands on those book readers is like breaking into Fort Knox!)

I did a search on those, so I'm sure there are more out there.

Digi - I am a napster idiot too. But, I have seen Stephen King, Dean Koontz, L. R. Hubbard, and John Grisham on Napster. Problem is if you are looking for an unabridge book (example - Stephen King's The Stand - is 239 downloads)

But, for your mom, here is a great idea - I have been doing this for quite a while. Go to Books on Tape They have 1,000's and 1,000's of books on cassette tape - all unabridged. I think the prices are fairly reasonable - around $10 - $15 per book - depending on # of tapes and you can keep for a month. Return postage is pre-paid.

Actually, check your local libary first - many of them have audio books and quite a few have books from Books on Tape. The library at the air force base i work at has a couple 100 books on tape.

Here is a dumb question, because I am also not Napster literate. Do I have to have my computer scanned for mp3's before downloading? Can't I just go there and download? I don't have any mp3's on my harddrive.

Napster automatically scans for mp3s but if you don't have any then you have no worries. If you do have some but don't wish to share them then just adjust your preferences in Napster

Thanks Whit. I will try that then.

Well, you can block others form downloading by setting your outgoing files to 0 but that sort of defeats the purpose of file sharing. You can always temporarily set it if you are on a slower connection. There's nothing worse than you trying to download and someone else trying to download from you at the same time on a 56K connection.

Thanks, Gail.

Excellent idea! I'll hit that site and the library, both. Funny you should mention... we have a brand new library in town!
