What do I need to know about MP3 and video bitrates?

If you download audiobooks or spoken MP3 files, or deliver them by e-mail, you may want to know how you can download them faster and store more of them on your portable MP3 player or computer hard drive.

How do I convert my Vinyl LP Records to MP3 files? How do I convert my Cassette Tapes to MP3 files?

My friend Bob Tweady asked me how he can convert some of his old records to digital MP3 files.

On slower computers, Adobe’s PDF Reader software takes forever to load and it constantly bugs users to update at the Adobe website. I’m sure I can’t be the only one who hates large Adobe PDF files cluttering my e-mail inbox! Read more

How can I listen to MP3 audiobooks and MP3 music files on a treadmill or while I exercise?

The best solution I’ve found is to use a flash memory MP3 player that has a clothing clip or an arm band. Flash based MP3 players are small, light and skip proof. Some MP3 players, like the RIO FORGE, will include a removable elastic armband that will allow you to wear the player high on your arm where it won’t generally interfere with your run or your workout.

Choosing headphones is more difficult and personal. Read more
