Customer Reviews
Lisa
Should have looked at these reviews before buying. It comes as one 8+ hour track instead of broken up into separate tracks. There is no way to adapt this to a useful learning strategy as one, long, unsearchable track. Waste of money.
Irritated
Pretty irritated with iTunes version of this audiobook. I have the eastern US version of the Stokes guide to bird songs on CD, but now that computers don't have disc drives, I figured I may as well download the mp3 version of the full US guide to have in my iTunes library. What a foolish idea for me to think iTunes would provide what would've been provided on the audio CD. The entire thing downloads as one massive track instead of separate track listings as described in the details. I have literally zero use for an 8+ hour track of over 900 bird species, when I wanted tracks of specific birds that I could play as I wished. You did Stokes dirty, iTunes. I want my money back or the product described in the store details. No PDF is included either, but it's not like it would matter since there is only ONE TRACK.
Updated review!
There were some issues with the download, for example, the tracks are not named and the PDF that contains the track names does not download with the book. HOWEVER, I emailed the authors directly, and within a day they sent me the PDFs! So that was excellent customer service. Hopefully iTunes will get things fixed so that the downloads occur correctly, but in the meantime, the authors themselves went out of their way to help out.
