I was going to pass this thread by since I didn't really think it applied to me, and then I realized it "kinda" did.

When my kids were much younger and we spent time in the car, I really preferred that they be listening to stories rather than our local outlet for "Radio Disney." As a result I bought a bunch of kids' tapes -- mostly Rabbit Ears (which I cannot recommend too highly! They are uniformly excellent!), a series of stories called The Growler Tapes (again, excellent, but they seem to be out of production), etc., etc.

I'm transferring them all over to MP3s and saving them on my external "media" drive. I don't use any particular software to organize them, but I pick descriptive file names and sort through them manually.

As busy as those times were, back when they were in the "under 10" years, listening to these stories brings back some great memories.
