Bernie,

Well if you can't, then why then doesn't Little Brown issue a
separate CD of the wildlife sounds?  They could make it downloadable
in the same way that many CDs are these days.

I don't have any of the i-thingys to use for book reading /listening,
nor do I want any of them, but I do have a CD player.

I agree with Dan there are too many options.

Please forward my CD request to the publishers!
