Looking For Affordable Audio Books? Checkout Music Clubs

December 4th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under • by admin

A lot of people who listen to audio books believe Audible is the only real place to go, but there are actually a lot of different ways to find and download mp3 audio books online. There are services which allow you to download public domain books for free to listen to of varying qualities and a number of other subscription sites which can, in a lot of cases, save you money over Audible’s $15.00 per month subscription service.

One of these services is music-clubs.com. They offer both fiction and non-fiction audio books. Some of the types of books available include business, careers, self-help, children’s, young adult, and spirituality. Whatever you’re looking for, chances are music-club.com has what you’re looking for. Their collection is fairly large in size, it’s not the biggest out there, but chances are you’ll be able to find something worth listening to.

Music-Club offers two subscription plans, a gold membership, and a platinum membership. The gold membership has a special where you can get 50% off for the first three months, and pay a mere $14.95 per month after that. With the gold subscription, you get one book of any size. Unlike audible, there aren’t books that are “two credits” which make the book take two months of one’s subscription.

There is also a platinum level membership for $22.95 per month that comes with 2 free audio books up-front, 2 downloads per month, and after that you can purchase additional audio books for just $11.47 for each download.

You can also find a number of educational audio books to help you learn foreign languages. Unlike traditional text-books that only help you write in foreign languages these audio books help you speak the languages you’re trying to use, which will better enable to use them when visiting foreign countries without butchering the pronunciation of every word.

This service might not be the best fit for everyone, but it’s very competitive with Audible’s, iTunes’ and other stores pricing levels, so check it out.
