Yesterday in the newspaper I read about Audio walking and driving tours of cities or sites that are downloadable to an mp3.

In the summer were going to Berlin to visit friends and then to the south of Spain - Grenada, Toledo, Seville, Costa del Sol, Cordoba, Gilbrater ...

MP3 downloads appeal to us as we have MP3 players for listening to books we download from our library.

Has anyone used these? What's their quality?

I would be interested in this information. Where does one get such tours to download?
 
There are a lot out there. Google "downloadable audio tours".

I think these would be very useful both before and during a trip. We like to travel independently and these might provide us more flexibility in using our time.

It would be great to hear from someone whose used them.

Another thing that Rick Steves recommended in his book is to get a y connector and bring your own headsets - then 2 people can listen the the same audio.
 
We are wondering about the same thing. We will be in Prague, Vienna and Salzburg and my husband found 3 companies as well as Rick Steves offering audio tours. We can imagine the advantage to using them, and they would be easy to download, but hooked up to ipods walking the streets somehow screams tourist and we try to keep a low profile usually. (On the other hand I've had someone say we would be pegged as tourists anyway, but ...) Anyway we were hoping to hear from someone who had used them, even had a preference for brand. Then too at 5 euro or 8 pounds british per route (multiples for big cities) the cost will add up.
