So I'm in the library browsing the audio section this morning and stumbled into this (well, the empty orange case). It's not a CD or audio cassettes so I've got a very puzzled look. I walk up to the desk to ask a librarian and she tells me that it's a player like an iPod that you need to plug in earphones. Still confused I ask where I can get a player. She says, "Here. It's free.". Cool, I thought. So she brings me back this gadget. I'm thinking she's going to get me two items, a player and a chip or something of the book. Nope!! Just this pre-loaded digital audio player! How totally awesome is that?! I walked out of the library feeling like a kid out of a candy store. ~Wow, what will people come up with next?
**Visit their website for details ... playaway.com ... "Playaway is the easiest way to listen to a book on the go. Simply plug in the earphones and enjoy. No Cassettes or CDs. No Downloads. Just Play."
So that's what those things are about. My library has a whole section of those.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by while you were taking a break. That meant a lot!!
Oh my gosh!! This is awesome!! Thanks for the explanation!! :)
ReplyDeleteAs ecstatic as I was with hearing this sadly, we don't have this kind of gadget that would be a great help to readers here. :(
ReplyDeleteBut still the possibilities are not remote if ever I saw one here in our National Library.
Thanks for the heads up, Jinky! ;D
