Hi!
I see Volume 3 on Spotify – will Volumes 1 & 2 also be available for purchase through this platform? Any idea when?
Are there any other streaming options available at this time?
And how are these different from the other series by SWB “The History of the…Ancient World…Renaissance…etc.”
Thanks!

Answer Desk (verified owner) –
Yes, the other volumes will be available on Spotify as well! They have everything they need for all volumes, and the timing of making each volume available is up to them. Some platforms are quicker about this than others.
They will indeed be available on other platforms, so check your favorites. They are temporarily unavailable on Audible, but should be back in about ten days or so.
The Story of the World is for younger students, elementary and middle school, and History of the World is for high school students and adults.

Can you please list the system requirements for the MP3 Download version? What can I use, and, more importantly, what can I NOT use? For instance, can I use a Chromebook?

Answer Desk (verified owner) –
It’s just a standard MP3, so there are no specific system requirements other than having enough space (volume one is about 500 mb) and it can be played on any device that can play MP3s, including Chromebooks.
It is also available on Apple, Audible, and many other platforms.

Melissa Q –
Are the Story of the World audiobooks available as a month to month or annual streaming subscription on any platforms (audible, spotify, etc) or through your website or is it just available on CD or MP3? I’ve heard some charter schools have a subscription with the audiobook available, but I can’t find where to purchase it. Thank you!
