Recorded Books has a rental program for individuals,
including a very large selection of CD releases. The link to
their CD page is here:
http://www.recordedbooks.com/template2.cfm?cd=true&subject=CDs
The CDs include a few volumes of Patrick O'Brien's Jack
Aubry/Stephen Maturin naval adventure series, read by Patrick
Tull--the most perfect blending of novel & reader that I
have ever come across.

Yes, it's called a "Soundfeeder" and it works pretty well. I
use it to listen to OTR, feeding the sound from my mp3 player
to a portable or car radio. You can buy one from the
manufacturer here: http://www.arkon.com/sf.html
BTW, to keep things on topic, the OTR I listen are usually
P.I. and cop shows ... or "Gunsmoke" featuring William Conrad
as Matt Dillon. As written by John Meston and as interpreted
by Conrad, Matt Dillon is a quintessentially hard-boiled
character who would have been at the top of the recent
"hard-boiled characters" poll if he'd been a character in
literature.
