Not too bad a program. The first of its kind and something that was needed. The synthesized voices don't, obviously, offer the richness of what a professionally recording can and does offer (like what you can get from Audible.com). But if you need to burn a bunch of cd's for a road trip AND want to listen to some great works that you can get from the Gutenberg Project, then this program will do the trick. Besides free is always the best price!!!!
