Many of us praised the invention of digital cameras because we could now take as many pictures as we wanted without fear of having to develop multiple rolls of film, at great expense. But with this new technology, we can’t seem to stop taking pictures. And those images keep piling up on our computers, rarely seen and rarely sorted. With the new invention of audiobooks and the digital files for audiobooks, your audiobook collection has the same chance of getting lost on your computer, never fully used. Instead of spending money on books you’ve never read, maybe it’s time to organize your files in a more productive way.
Make sure you have enough space
There is nothing more frustrating than discovering that your computer’s memory is full. You may want to download an audio book to your audio book collection, but you can’t because you have too much on your hard drive. Instead of taking out another flash drive (which you could lose too easily), it’s time to check your computer’s memory to make sure it can store your audiobooks. On a PC, go to the Computer Menu and then click on the hard drive you are using for storage, usually C. Right click on this folder and then you will see how much disk space you have left. If you have too much of your computer’s hard drive full, your computer will run very slowly and you will have trouble adding more audiobooks to your personal collection.
Organize the books you already have
With audiobook organizer software, you can easily manage your audiobook collection on your computer. This software will allow you to sort your titles by title or by author or even by genre. By doing so, you may start to see some audio files that you don’t necessarily want to keep. When viewing these files, you can choose to delete them, giving you more space for even more audiobooks. This software can also help you find audiobook files on your computer if you haven’t saved all of them in one location – a common mistake for new computer users. The catalog you create with this software can be easily updated as you see fit, while also giving you the opportunity to see what books you might want to buy and download.
With your audio book collection under control, you can take full advantage of this wonderful technology. Whether you listen to your books on a CD or on an mp3 player, you will always know what books you have available and what you need to “read” when you have free time during a workout or a trip home from work. Instead of ‘losing your books to disorganization, let your computer do all the work. Sure, you may need to enter some information at first, but when you’re ready; audiobook software will organize and organize it efficiently.
