Does anyone know a cheap/free site to buy/rent/download audiobooks, namely learn-a-new-language audio books?

Call your local library. They probably have some sort of an arrangement with a larger metropolitan library that has a lot of audio books that can be downloaded. For instance the Cleveland Public Library has a huge online audio book library. Because my local library is part of this library congomerate I get a library card from my local library and use my library card to log into the CLEVNET site and download audio books for free.

I spend a small fortune every month on blank CD's. Some of the audio books I down load have up to 17 hours of listening pleasure. I know for a fact that the Cleveland library does have some foreign language instruction available. I can listen to at least one hour a day in my car going back and forth to work so I tend to burn a lot of books every month.
