Book Reviews of NKJV MP3 Audio Bible
Book Review: Great value... but messy MP3 tags...
Summary: 4 Stars
I just bought a copy of this, and I thought it would be great because all the CD have been ripped for you. Basically, what this is is the same NKJV Audio Bible by Stephen Johnston where someone used iTunes 5 to rip it and they have compiled it all into these 3 CDs. The ripping quality is at about 20Kbps + 11025Hz, whereas a minimum for music is about 128Kbps. The sound quality is satisfactory as this is mainly a reading of the Bible.
When I looked into the 3 discs, what came up was the poor organization of the files. The MP3 tags are also a mess, so I reorganizing all the file names and MP3 tags so that when it gets in my iPod, it would show up great. After doing that, I realized that all the MP3 could actually fit into 1 CD rather than have to put it in 3 CDs. The whole organization and tags on this set could have been done better, but I'll still buy it because it is great value for money.
Hence, the real plus point to this 3 CDs MP3 set is:
1. Someone has ripped all 58 CDs for you.
2. You pay a fraction of the cost as compared to getting the full set on audio CDs.
Book Review: A great audio Bible version to own
Summary: 4 Stars
I was really encouraged to see that the entire Bible was contained on three CD's full of MP3 files. The quality of the actors reading is excellent. After a while you don't notice the actors and you can concentrate on the Word (which is the whole idea). The background music and sound effects are a nice touch.
They could have done a better job naming the tracks so that someone browsing on their MP3 player could find the Bible verses by the Bible's Book name (Genesis, Exodus, etc.) You can figure out which book and chapter is contained in each track by the abbreviations, but using the files' album and artist names as they are makes things hard to find.
It wasn't too hard to upload the MP3 files onto my computer and manually organize the MP3 files with album names that identified the Book of the Bible being read. Once the files were grouped and named properly, the product is awesome to use.
Book Review: Love it! And Nelson makes good on defective CDs.
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this product so much when I got it last Christmas and so do my friends and family. I was disappointed to discover (the first day I used it) that several verses in the Book of Proverbs were missing. Several chapters in 2 Kings were missing as well. And that's what I was able to discover before I was put off.
I did not want to buy a replacement especially since I did not know of another like this one and I can easily transfer the mp3s onto my PDA and listen when I'm driving or when I'm not on the phone. Moreover, I love Thomas Nelson products.
Turns out that Thomas Nelson offered to replace my CDs and resend me a new set. They were made aware that the first printing of the product had defects. If your CDs are defective just contact them- they'll ask for some information and send you a replacement set.
I think it's worth the try.
Book Review: The Way To Go
Summary: 4 Stars
I sometimes find it hard to read but this has been an inspiration. I love the narration and sound effects. I can fall asleep with it knowing it's going into my sub-conscious. Great way forward.Book Review: 'reading' the Bible while driving my car
Summary: 4 Stars
Good quality audio CD.
Personaly I don't like the music and theater kinds of stuff on the background. Even sometimes the reading is at the background!
