Audiobooks in the iTMS

[The Memory Hole]

Hello.
Has anyone bought an audiobook from the Music Store yet? If so, are the chapters split into different tracks? Or is it one big track? I ask because I worry that if I purchase an audiobook, I may not be able to burn it to a CD if it is one long track...

Thank you for any assistance you are able to offer me.

I haven't been on my Mac for a couple of days now (been moving to a new apartment) and am at a peecee now at work, but I assume that Apple is still working with Audible.com for its books (Amazon does same thing now). The length of the book influences the length of the file. Most audio books come in 2 or 3 files, or about 2, 2.5 hours, per file.
Burning to a CD hasn't a problem for me and I've been an Audible user for quite a long time. Great service.

I browsed them. But nearly 20 $ for an audio book is expensive. If there were some books I'm interested for lets say 5 $ and really long and really good ones for maybe up to 10 $ i could think of trying. But 20 $ for an audio book is a lot of money. When in most cases you can get a real book of it for that price, and not even just the paperback.

I wish BBC's material was available. You know, all those great shows, comedies, even radio shows. Maybe BBC will though go open source eventually, putting some material to other systems too (I have heard about kazaa in this context). It would be awesome.
