I’d noticed the somewhat whimsical character of the preparation and distribution of the Free Culture Audiobook (see Aaron’s wiki for a most convenient set of links). Sometimes it bothered me, sometimes it charmed me as an artifact of distributed production.
But Noa Resare actually did something about it. Noa reworked the separate sections so that the tracks number up correctly, compiled them for BitTorrent, and set up a distribution site. I haven’t stepped into the BitTorrent waters yet, so I’ll still rely on Scott’s pop-up audiobook, but this looks terrific. If I understand correctly, the whole system works better if as many people as possible download a BitTorrent file — so help yourselves, and many thanks to Noa for this contribution!

Any chance of Larry's previous works being "audioed"?

I expect that he would like those regulations relaxed as much as anyone would, but it couldn't hurt to write him or leave a comment at his blog.
