Each publication taken on audio CD is priced individually according to the frequency of the publication and the number of CDs on which the publication is delivered. For example, the Daily Mail Digest, a weekly publication, costs £21 per year on audio CD, whereas Woman & Home, a monthly title, costs £11 per year.

For more pricing information, take a look at our subscription rates.

Postage and Packing

Unlike the tape editions, audio CDs, do not have to be returned - they are yours to keep. You do not need to return the CDs or any of the packaging. Audio CDs are sent free of charge under the 'Articles For the Blind Concession'.

Why should I take my titles on audio CD?

Audio CD titles provide easier navigation. Articles within a publication are recorded as tracks, enabling listeners to skip from item to item at the touch of a button.

Audio CDs are non-returnable - they are your to keep! unlike cassette tapes which we need returned for reuse, you are free to keep your audio CD publications.

Audio CD offers excellent playback sound quality.

What equipment do I need to listen to audio CDs?

Audio CD titles will play on any standard domestic CD player. They can also be played using certain RNIB talking book machines as well as DVD players and PC CD drives.

Is the content of the audio CD editions the same as the tape editions?

In almost all editions, the content that's delivered on the CD edition will be the same as the tape edition. The running time of an audio tape is slightly longer than an audio CD, so we've taken steps to present the material in a way that minimizes the likelihood of having to reduce the amount of content. However, on rare occasions a small amount of content may have to be excluded.

Can I decide to take a publication on audio CD at any time?

If at any time during your subscription you'd like to take one or more of your titles on audio CD then just contact Customer Services and they can arrange to have your subscription updated. They can also work out the exact cost of updating your subscription.

Can I take some titles on audio CD and some on tape?

You can take whatever mix of titles you wish in any format - providing the title is available in that format.

Will you be expanding the range of titles available on audio CD?

We plan to make a significant number of titles available on audio CD. We'll be adding titles in response to demand, so if you'd like to take a particular title on audio CD, please don't hesitate to contact us.
