    YES!

    You have until MIDDAY on July 29th to do it for FREE..... to your PC, iPod or MP3 player

    Got to https://www.audible.co.uk/storm
    Register by picking a userid & password
    Follow simple onscreen instructions

    You can check if you have a "compatible device" by looking at https://www.audible.co.uk/devices

    Incidentally this should normally cost £19.99 but is on special 55% discount offer until 11th August at only £8.99

    If you go to the site WITHOUT the /storm and want it, this is what you'll pay

    It is "available" in "4 formats" http://www.audible.co.uk/audible/anon_pops/formats_main.html
    Telephone quality (2mb / hour)
    AM Radio quality (3.7Mb / hour)
    FM Radio quality (7.2Mb / hour)
    MP3 (CD) quality (14.4 Mb / hour)

    Given it's 5 hours long that makes the MP3 download is 72 megabytes

    Having said that, I've just popped my CD in my PC and looked at it.....

    270 Meg ! (Identified as Winamp Media File on my PC)

  • As far as I could tell without buying the paper, there is postage to pay. Certainly nothing actually inside the shrink wrap - so I just left it.

    I've got mine - a little later than originally planned
    I don't think it is regional.

    Offer is on page 28 of "The Knowledge" that comes with today's (Saturday) Times.

    NO TOKENS - Just "application form"

    The 3 Jazz CDs (including tracks by Nina Simone, Al Jarreau, Lena Horne) can be had for either a £1.89 cheque (P&P)

    OR .... Just 64p - that is if you send them a 10 x 8 inch padded SSAE (64p stamp affixed)


    Obviously both are plus the cost of a stamp to apply in the first place.

    Saw an add on TV this afternoon and I think it said there is a free TOM JONES CD in Sunday Express tomorrow and a second TOM JONES CD the following week. Before paying out for the newspaper I suggest you just double-check |I am right on this.

    Looks like you're right - may be regional though!
