OTR Amos & Andy, old time radio 292 episodes 3 MP3 CDs

You are bidding on a collection of episodes from the old time radio program "Amos & Andy" . There are 292 shows in the MP3 audio format on three MP3 CDs. A freeware software program is included.

Freeman Gosden, Charles Correll, Ernestine Wade, and Amanda Randolph in what is considered the first "great" radio show, the beginning of what today is known as the "situation comedy". Gosden and Correll never looked at each other during the broadcast, to avoid cracking up, and the show was not rehearsed, to ensure spontaneity. They were so popular that over 40 million people a week listened to them, and movie theatres stopped shows and brought a radio on-stage so their viewers would not miss any of the shows.

It used to be you could only listen MP3 files on your computer's CD/DVD drive. But newer component CD/DVD players may be capable of playing MP3 files in their native format. So you are not limited to only your computer. But you should check with the manufacturer of your player for this capability. It is also possible to transfer these programs to an iPod using iTunes. That is how I listen to them, and the quality is quite good.
