I started listening to the audiobook of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and so far I like it. Of course, it's really cool that it's read by Douglas Adams. I have also learned today that for an iPod to do it's bookmarking and speeding/slowing down that it claims to do for audiobooks, the files have to be converted to AAC and then change it to m4b instead of the normal m4a. That's a pain. Plus I forgot to change my settings to do AAC instead of Apple Lossless... so even though it makes m4a's, it didn't work and I had to start over. Yay for Apple...
