Who are we?
Earworm Audio Books promotes the convenience of downloadable spoken word audio content to audio book fans of all ages. That's why we offer such a huge selection of categories and titles, as well as this page. We're independent as far as content and marketing goes because we're not tied to any one publisher. Your suggestions as to how we could improve are, of course, welcome. Please Contact Us.
What format do I receive the audio in?
We use two formats; MP3 and WMA. Both will play on PCs and Macs and most portable players. The publisher chooses which format they want the files to be distributed in. When you purchase a downloadable title from this site you are taken to a special area of the site where you can choose from a variety of file formats. If you have a high speed connection you will probably prefer to download the highest quality file available. If you have a slow Internet connection you can choose to download a file that is smaller in size. It will not be of quite the same quality, but it will still be very listenable.
Can I use these files on an iPod?
Yes! All you need to do is burn the files to CD first (this is a step we'd always recommend as a physical backup) and then rip that CD straight into iTunes. You can then transfer the audio to your iPod in the normal way.
Can I copy the files onto audio CDs and listen on my hi-fi or in-car system?
Yes! Copying the files to an audio CD on your computer is quick and easy, particlarly if you are using Windows. To watch a short demonstration of how to do it Click Here.
How easy is it to download the files once I have purchased them?
It's really easy. Once you've made your purchase you are taken to a special part of the site where you can download the files. Easy to follow instructions are provided on the download page. If you run into any problems, just contact us at our Support Center, and we'll be happy to help.
Do I need any special software to play these audio files?
No. All the files on this site will work on a standard PC.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes! Buy from us with complete confidence because If you are not 100% happy with your purchase just let us know within 30 days and we'll refund your money in full.
Am I breaking the law by downloading these audio files?
Absolutely not! ALL of the content on this site has been approved by the publishers and copyright holders. As a paying customer you are entitled to download and listen to these files as often as you wish and on whatever equipment you wish. However, like any other media, it is illegal to make copies of the files and give them to other people.
How long will it take to download the audio files?
It will vary greatly depending on what kind of Internet connection you have. If you have a broadband connection it will take just a few minutes per part. If you have a 56k dial-up connection it will be considerably slower. If a recording is several hours long we will have split it into several parts to make it easier to download so even if you are on a slow connection you can start listening to the first part while the others are downloading.
Can I listen to a sample of the audio before I decide to make a purchase?
Yes! All of the titles on this site include a five minute sample that you can listen to before deciding to make a purchase. The recording you hear will not sound as good as the audio you will download once you have made a purchase as it has had to be compressed a great deal to allow easy streaming on all the different connection speeds.
