Make Copies of Your Audio Books with AudioRoom CD Recorder
Let's pretend for a moment that you are an author who wants to sell audio books and is tired of waiting around for the slow-as-molasses machinations of the publishing industry. Let's further pretend that you are somewhat tech savvy and business savvy and know how to make your own product.
You have a great site with a great business book for sale in PDF format for reading and audio format for the mp3 player. You've set up all kinds of speaking engagements and for that you've ordered a few hundred hard versions of your labor-fruits from a nice print-on-demand printer. But at the last several authors gigs, several people asked about the availability of audio books to give as gifts—and they wanted them yesterday. That's great, wonderful news, except that you don't have hard copies of your audio books.
But it would definitely pay you to make some hardcopy audio books. What are your options?
One option for making your audio books is to get your hands on a recording program like AudioRoom CD Recorder 3.2.9, which you can find for purchase at https://www.almightybutton.com/wp/products.aspx?product=AudioRoom. However, before you make your purchase (or not) they allow you a 10-day trial by download.
In order to use AudioRoom CD Recorder 3.2.9 to make hard copies of your audio books, you must have a Windows machine. Minimum site software and hardware requirements are Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP and an MMC-compatible CDR drive with the same or MMC compatible CDR drive with Windows XP or later, as well as a sound card. As for processing capabilities, you need a Pentium processor or better, 32 Mb RAM, 9 Mb available hard disk space.
The AudioRoom CD Recorder 3.2.9 has won several five-star awards—well, with the exception of tucows. They gave the product five cows instead of five stars, but cows are probably just as good as stars. The sites that gave him five stars are as follows: onekit.com software magazine, sofotex, Download2you.com, SoftforAll; Program URL, Freetrialsoft, soft45.com. In addition, AudioRoomCD Recorder 3.2.9 has been certified 100-percent clean by Softpedia.
Purchasing is easy, and not all that expensive. You get two choices: download only for $24.95, and download with CD for $29.95. No matter which you choose, look out for the registration key, which will be mailed to you immediately upon your registration. With the download and CD package, you get an installation CD in a shrink-wrapped box via priority mail to the U.S., and via first-class air mail to all other countries. Shipping is $5 to the U.S. and Canada and $10 to all other countries. Then you're on your way to making hard copies of your audio books.
With either package you get two years of free software updates via download and free technical support.
Of course, if you're an author who just wants to make a few copies of your audio books, your head may be spinning after reading all of this. Downloading programs can be time-consuming and can keep you away from doing the thing that you love most to do—writing and promoting your work. You should weigh the benefits of making your own audio books CDs versus hiring someone to do it for you—and that includes the quality of the voice that you are going to use. The wise man always knows when to hire a professional.
