  • Questionplays audio books?

    Asked by anne.

    • Answer What type of audiobooks are you inquiring about? Audiobooks are primarily available on two types of discs: standard Audio CDs and MP3 CDs. Standard Audio CDs work in any CD player but require multiple discs, whereas MP3 CDs hold the entire book on one disc but require an MP3-compatible player. The LG 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Black, Model # SP80NB80, plays MP3 CDs, as well as standard audio CDs. It functions as an external drive, allowing your computer to read and play CD-ROMs, CD-R/RWs, and DVD formats to listen to music or access files...^Ivan.
