Random House has followed up its release of a widget that allows searching and browsing of its print titles by other Web sites by introducing an audio widget as part of its Insight program. Audio clips from more than 2,200 titles published by the Random House Audio Group can now be cut and pasted by users for sampling on any Web site. Sampling time will generally run between two and 10 minutes. The widget, which went live today at http://www.randomhouse.com/audio, will include a link that will permit customers to order a physical copy of the audio or download a digital edition. Currently available audios range from all six Harry Potter titles to Lolita.
