I travel a lot and plan to start to listen to audio-books. I love science fiction films but never really explored the written genre.
Now that I have a chance to delve into sci-fi novels I find that I cannot find a decent list of the best sci-fi novels available on audio-book.
Can you help?
It depends on what type of science fiction you like, in part. I can tell you that Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars books are on audio (Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars) as are Orson Scott Card's Ender books and Connie Willis' wonderful Doomsday Book. . . whether available at this second in time, I don't know; they were at my library.
Recorded Books has a list of what they have available now:
http://www.recordedbooks.com/index.cfm?f useaction=rb.show_genre&gen_id=321
BTW, Recorded Books does have Joe Haldeman's Forever War and I saw a Connie Willis listed as available now.
Audio books are a little harder to list like this because they become unavailable in ways print books don't. For example, I listened to Willis' book on tape. I don't know if it's still available as an audio download or on cd. Contracts with authors sometimes specified the exact format the publisher could use, and when formats changed, the publisher may not have had the rights to the book as a cd, for example.
Another problem is that SF as a genre isn't as widely popular as, say, mysteries or inspirational fiction. (No flames, please; I speak not judgmentally but as one who has looked at offerings from Recorded Books, Books on Tape, BBC audio, etc. and found fewer titles in that genre; also if you check out their standing order plans, you'll see they offer mystery, inspirational, non-fiction, Christian, teen, children's, African American, Southern, etc. but not SF-- or at least not the last time I checked.) I'm not putting down SF as a genre. The people who love it are devoted but it doesn't seem to cross over as easily to mainstream as, say, mysteries.
Plus the line between SF and Fantasy is a bit blurry sometimes. . . more than a bit. Right now fantasy is a bigger seller so you'll see more Fantasy listed as science fiction-- Piers Anthony I think of as more fantasy, for example, and Robert Jordan. Anyway, there aren't as many SF books on audio as some other genres-- unless you want to count things like J.D. Robb's "in Death" series, which are basically mysteries set slightly in the future. (I tend to think of SF as what used to be called "hard SF"-- i.e., techno-heavy.)
Good luck! Hope you find something you like.

Hi my friend has numerous audio books which if done individually would take up alot of discs,
I advised her that she could burn the audio books in mp3 format using nero.( putting 1-2 books on one disc) She has tried to do this using a cd-r that plays in all ( her car, dvd player, hi-fi and they all take mp3 files), however this time all she is getting is the disc turning continually, and no sound,but it will play in her dvd -recorder, but not car stereo, hi-fi etc.
She is running windows xp, and has both Nero and WMP.
Is there a specific program, that she needs, or is there a specific way to burn multiple audio books to cd.
Any advise that you can offer would be appreciated, shes about to pull her hair out,
Thank you
When she burns, make sure she selects "Audio CD" and not "Data CD"
Hope this helps

I have about 200 hours of audio books and would like to transfer them to 20 or more cds, so that I can play them on a cd player.
I obtained 86 audio books on three mp3. The majority of them are about 140 min long and contains snippets of music...1 or 2 min.
I would assume that these books were once on a couple of cassettes per book.
Each book seems to be made up of 8 files, which are 14 to24 min long.
For instance, on disc 1 there are 417 files of a total of 6100 m bites.
I bought 52 Verbatim cd - r of 700mb capacity and would like to use these, if possible...'cause they were cheap. I hope some of this will be useful.
download them in to windows media player and it will give you option to burn to cd onright hand side drop down menu on windows xp. or use burning software like nero 7. this may not work if the audio books are copy protected.
i want some audio books in mp3 format, i dont know about this plz help me

Over the past hardly any years, the audio textbook business has been rapidly on the rise. The mounting fame of iPods and MP3 players has caught the attention of a fresh age collection of audio textbook consumers; a abundance of these consumers have not much bought an audio textbook on cassette tapes or on CDs before.
