In the first story, Rip Van Winkle falls asleep only to wake up 20 years later, finding he has literally slept his life away. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow tells the tale of the gawky schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane, and his rival Brom Bones, who each woo pretty Katrina Van Tassel until a Headless Horseman makes his ghostly ride. Washington Irving was one of America’s earliest and most popular writers. Famous for his short stories, Irving was also a chronicler of the frontier, a folklorist and a noted political satirist and essayist. In The Sketch Book, of which these two selections are a part, Irving drew upon the myths and legends of local and European folklore. His original creations of characters like Ichabod Crane and Rip Van Winkle have become lasting contributions to our national literary heritage, as distinctly American as Natty Bumppo, Captain Ahab, and Huckleberry Finn.

HI FerraBit
I was wondering why you combine the 'chapters'? I listen in my vehicle. I have to find my new starting point each time. It is much easier when the chapters are small and virtually impossible when they are large. I haven't read any Irving for a long time. I would have enjoyed this.

Thanks for the audiobooks. Great titles.
What I have done to increase the number of file is to use Nero Wave Editor > Edit > Insert track split > Save tracks as files.
It takes a wee bit of time and I can make a large file into as many small ones as I need. A full cd is good with about 20 @40 megabyte files.
Again, Thank You Ferrabit. My daily task is to listen to audiobooks. I do this as I do my job.
Life is good!

I do the same thing as Pimji when I get a large audio book file.
I listen in my car so it is not convenient to have big files/chapters. Need small ones. That is why the audio companies do it. They know what people want. So, I just slice it back up again. lol
Also, I work out and my MP3 player is used in different ways. I might want an audio book for cardio and crankin tunes for the squat rack so I have to switch back and forth.
Also, my MP3 player comes with me for commutes out of my car...like a train or subway and I use it in waiting rooms, long lines, etc.
Each one has a different feel or mood and I need to be able to adjust.
So long files that have to be fast forwarded through are a pain in the ass. lol
That is why I slice and dice if needed.
