You can use it on all your devices. Today I connected my tv surround sound speakers to the headphone jack of my smartphone and listened to "Heat" while poking around the web looking for cruise prices.

HEAT

An Amateur's Adventures as Kitchen Slave, Line Cook, Pasta-Maker, and Apprentice to a Dante-Quoting Butcher in Tuscany.
By Bill Buford.

My problem is, I don't have a lot of devices! I don't have a smart phone.
If I want to download books and listen to them while I'm driving, don't I need an iPod to do that?

TeleRead: Will audiobooks be downloadable for offline listening, or will they be streaming only?

Scribd: Both. We think the majority of users will take advantage of streaming audiobooks since its instant and frictionless. However, if you’re hopping on a plane, train or anywhere else without wi-fi, you can download them to your device for offline listening. And there are no limits on how many audiobooks or eBooks you can store to your device – save as many as your device can hold. (Note that this is a change. Previously, the app was limited to 20 downloaded books. No longer.)

1] What do you have? Do you have a laptop?

Just a thought, and I need help with this so jump in if what I am suggesting is not correct.

2] What if you bought a cheap used smartphone. At home you would set it up to attach to your wireless network and download the book. In the car you would play it back. You do not need the smartphone to work as a telephone.

I can download FREE audiobooks from the library on my iPad, lots of them.
I want to listen to them when we're driving from Canada to Florida (26 hours).
My problem is, I don't know how to listen to them. I think I need an iPod.
For me, it's probably easier to continue to buy CDs for the trip. Technology baffles me.

SORRY for the hijack - back to movies!

Yup!!! I'm not sure Wayne regretted that decision as it would have taken up a lot of time, to devote to that series, that ran, about 20 years.

I am a fan of the older stars and enjoy some of the back stories, of the older movie stars.

Buy an adapter for your auto cassette player, plug in and play your iPad through it (if your car has one).

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen was Woody Allen's, "Take The Money and Run" from the early 70's. "Sleeper" was another good one.

Netflix also has a collection of Paul Newman movies that worth binging on a rainy day. Nobody's Fool is probably my favorite movie [along with the Godfather & Pulp Fiction] and that's in the Netflix collection.

I was watching Season Two of Rita last night on Netflix. I thought of you Ecuadog.
The series isn't for everyone, but I love it. And Rita does have a spectacular bum.

I've never watched Nobody's Fool. But if you like Godfather and (especially) Pulp Fiction, one of my favorites, you should try The Usual Suspects...possibly my favorite movie of all time. :wave:

Murdoch Mysteries on Netflix.....and Out of Africa...love that movie!

I'll have to put Nobody's Fool on my Watch List. I last watched Netflix a few years back- it sure has improved a lot.

"Spectacular bum" Now I will really have to check that out.

TV shows I have missed
 

We find a series once in awhile that we somehow missed when it first came out (ie Blue Bloods) and will watch the old episodes every night during the summer when there are no new shows until we catch up.

But for real binge watching especially if I have the flu. Doctor Who and Serenity and old star gate episodes.
