I recently picked up an Insignia MP3 player; one of the reasons I chose it is because it is able to play Audible.com audio book files, which is one of my favorite ways to do some extra reading. While I was able to snag a 4GB player on clearance for under $75, the great thing about this player is that it has a Micro SD slot available for expanding the available memory of the player.
I enjoy listening to music on it, too, of course; in fact, ever since I started writing about 27 years ago, I’ve always worked better with some music playing in the background while I type. It was a cue I took from Stephen King, who in the 1970s and 1980s often mentioned what albums he primarily listened to while composing various novels of his.
I find I can’t work so well listing to music if I’m doing research-based or theological writing; but for creative writing, there’s nothing better than a soundtrack to work by.
