Where things are adapted to audio-only media such as Radio, Audiobooks, or Audio Plays. The simplest is the Audiobook, which is usually a simple audio recording of a person reading a particular book. Originally, the audio version was abridged due to the limitations of audio recording media. For instance, a typical book of 100+ pages would have required an impractically large number of vinyl records to play in its entirety, and even the development of the cassette tape with its much longer playtime could require a half-dozen for an abridged edition. However, with the rise of the computer audio file and advances in data storage and playback devices, audio recordings of complete books is now a standard item. Originally, audiobooks were largely restricted for the visually impaired with the aforementioned recording tech limitations. However, when practical recording media that could be carried on ones' person came on the market, such as the Walkman, the audiobook starting gaining a larger market. Today, audiobooks can be purchased, downloaded and played on smartphones, as well as on other audioplayers or personal computers with considerable convenience. As such, people can listen to literature while multi-tasking other activities with considerable flexibility, which has made the audiobook format a growth market in the otherwise struggling book trade. Some are full adaptations, usually from Literature, Comic Books, or Manga, giving the then silent characters voices. Others are side-stories for the franchise released in an immerse world of sound, a favorite path for animated fare since, after all, they already have the voice actors and sound effects. Some particular pitfalls of this kind of adaptation include Narrating the Obvious (where descriptive text is just put directly into the mouth of one of the characters present, making them sound like an interpreter for the blind). This is especially common in Japan. Since they're pretty cheap to produce (you just need the actors, some sound effects, and mixing equipment to make them), a popular work, be it manga, anime, a Video Game or what have you will often get several "Drama CDs" as spinoffs, pseudo-sequels, prequels and interquels to fill in the world and characters. Since the production values aren't too high and for better franchises the actors can like doing them, you can produce a fair number of them and still make a good profit. However, their all-audio nature makes exporting them a nightmare. Drama CDs are the #1 source of All There in the Manual problems for exported Japanese products; because the form is very uncommon in America, there's no real place to sell them, unionized actors drive costs up, etc. As a result, these basically never leave Japan, which can end up being hugely problematic for fans overseas who are missing parts of the story (and for any producers who care about exporting, since they know it's all but impossible for overseas fans to get that part of the story). On rare occasions, there may be an officially released translation of only the CD's transcript, which is the most fans can expect to get, as was the case for the drama CDs for Final Fantasy XV and The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel I and II. The BBC also produce a fair few of these for broadcast on Radio 4, including some regular features such as "Book at Bedtime" and "Saturday Play." Contrast with Sound-to-Screen Adaptation, where audio-based works are adapted to visual media. |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica has four Drama CDs - three of which were packaged in the home video releases and one that was released at a convention. The even numbered CDs are probably non-canon since they are light-hearted Slice of Life Self Parodies of the series. However, the odd numbered CDs contain rather important background information including the identity of the cat seen in the anime's Title Sequence and the prior relationship between Mami and Kyoko that was only implied in the anime. (The latter would actually get a Comic-Book Adaptation in a Spin-Off entitled Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story.) Incidentally, an interview with the writer for some of the Drama CDs revealed that originally they would have been a direct continuation of the anime's events. |

Noddy Between 1953 till 1959, Enid Blyton did a narration for some of her Noddy books part of the "His Master's Voice" series. In later stories, actual voice actors were brought in to voice Noddy and Big Ears. Four audio adaptations of four Noddy books were sold in the UK in the early 70s narrated by Kathleen Davydd. The first was Noddy Wins a Prize/Noddy and the Aeroplane in 1971, and Noddy Goes to School/Noddy Gets Into Trouble in 1972. The 1953 book "Noddy at the Seaside" gained an audio adaptation/audiobook that was released in 1986 on Casssette players, complete with 80s era synthizers used for songs when Noddy decides to sing. |

Sound of the Sky has two audio dramas. One which explains the deal with the ghost which kicked off the events of the second episode, only to be forgotten by the end. The other tells of how Filicia and Rio first met, along with an explanation of the history of Helvetia after The Great Off Screen War, at least as far as the characters know. | |

Riviera: The Promised Land has three drama CDs — one of a promotional nature (the Prelude disc), one containing mostly gag stories and voiced scenes from the game with a single serious original drama explaining antagonist Malice's backstory (the Epilogue disc), and a third containing a series of long episodic adventures (The Precious Chapter). Even when the first two were in print, it was a nightmare trying to buy them, as none of the Japanese vendors selling them shipped overseas. Luckily for (Japanese-speaking) fans, the third didn't have this problem. | |

Especially in the 1960s and 70s, a huge number of record albums were recorded for children by studios like Power Records. They adapted everything from classic novels like Melville's Moby-Dick and Barrie's Peter and Wendy, to superhero stories (some adapted from comics, some original) and TV shows like Josie and the Pussycats, to nursery rhymes and fables from Aesop. This especially applies to Disney who has made both book and record, and "storyteller" LP versions of not only their own movies, but also the Star Wars trilogy, E.T., and even the first four Star Trek movies. They also adapted the first two Indiana Jones movies. Kid Stuff Recordsnote Who also had a home video division called "KidVid" is another notable maker of these. Many of their various licenses include, but are by no means limited to: Barbie, Masters of the Universe, Strawberry Shortcake, the original Transformers series, and even video game licenses like Pac-Man.note This was even before Hanna-Barbera's animated series from 1982. |

BBC Radio produced a few audio dramas of Torchwood, that originally aired on BBC Radio 4. The first celebrated the switching on of the Large Hadron Collider.

The Japanese version of Elemental Gearbolt includes an unlockable audio drama version of an event mentioned in-game, in which the main characters meet as children and promise to reunite. It was Dummied Out of the English release, but the localizer summarized the story in the manual. | |

Slayers has several set between anime seasons: Slayers EX (Extra) and Slayers N>EX: Set after the first season and second seasons, there are four stories based off of the prequel Slayers Special novels, but they implement Lina's allies instead of Naga. Naga does appear in N>EX, though. The Return of Slayers EX: Five original stories set after seasons 2 and 3, including a run-in with bugs in Saillune's sewer system, meeting baby Val (the reincarnation of the Big Bad of season 3), a hysterical failed attempt to help Zelgadis with his body, and Lina and Naga reminiscing during their old age. Slayers Nextra: Set after the second season, a full-scale adventure, unlike the others. A prologue and epilogue for the Slayers Premium Non-Serial Movie; the prologue creates an issue in continuity by setting two seasons five years apart, which supposedly isn't true in-universe. Two dramas based off of the fourth and fifth seasons of the anime; there is an epilogue story for the one based on Evolution-R. A Crossover story starring the Slayers cast and the Sorcerer Stabber Orphen cast. |

Officially licensed audio plays by Big Finish, featuring the continuing adventures of Doctors Five, Six, Seven, and Eight (and later Four), now number in the hundreds. Quality is generally considered very high, and is praised for expanding character and concepts which didn't get too much attention or love during their appearance in the TV series, thus leading to quite a few cases of Rescued from the Scrappy Heap, especially for Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor. | |

A really notorious example is Getter Robo Armageddon, which was the animation sequel... to a popular, long-running radio drama based on the Getter franchise that 99% of anime fans had never even heard of when Armageddon first made its way to America. Fans end up missing a fair bit of backstory as a result. | |

The Lord of the Rings, with full cast and sound effects. Interestingly, it starred Ian Holm as Frodo (Holm would go on to play Bilbo in Peter Jackson's live-action films) and featured Peter Woodthorpe as Gollum (Woodthorpe had previously voiced the character in Ralph Bakshi's 1978 animated film); Woodthorpe's Gollum had a pretty clear influence on Andy Serkis'. | |

There are many CD Dramas for for The King of Fighters, usually one or two per game, with individual characters sometimes getting their own CDs. They go from very cracky skits bordering on Gag Dubs, to pretty interesting characterization-wise (i.e. Dengeki Bunko explains how both the Japan Team and the Women's Team came to be among other things, The Sun and The Moon chronicles Iori Yagami's life outside KOF and the Yagami/Kusanagi feud at an unspecified time in the past, and KOF 2000 gives more background on K' and his group while also featuring Athena's misadventures through the world until she finds Kyo and they have a more serious talk about how everyone misses him at home). | |

The Mega Man Zero series had audio tracks included on each of its soundtrack releases. The story importance of these tracks ranged from trivial (such as how Alouette came up with the names for the Baby Elves) to vital, such as explaining Elpizo's backstory (including how he got his name), how Phantom knew about Omega's true nature, or why the Guardians chose to help Zero at the end of the third game. | |

The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald received a promotional radio play adaptation titled The Wacky Musical Adventures of Ronald McDonald: Intergalactical Magical Radio, which fell into obscurity due to only being distributed on United Airlines' in-flight radio and involved the McDonaldland gang setting up a radio station and subsequently converting it into a spaceship to try and make contact with aliens. Notable anomalies include the omission of Sundae and the McNuggets, Franklin and Tika being replaced with a different set of kids, the Fry Kids appearing even though they made no further appearances after the first video "Scared Silly" and Grimace, Hamburglar and Birdie being respectively voiced by Frank Welker, Carl W. Wolfe and Russi Taylor (their standard voice actors in the McDonaldland ads at the time) rather than Kevin Michael Richardson, Charlie Adler and Christine Cavanaugh. | |

Doctor Who has a lot of these. The BBC have produced a few radio adaptations of serials such as "Genesis of the Daleks." Official BBC-produced original radio plays have been produced as far back as 1986's "Slipback." Officially licensed audio plays by Big Finish, featuring the continuing adventures of Doctors Five, Six, Seven, and Eight (and later Four), now number in the hundreds. Quality is generally considered very high, and is praised for expanding character and concepts which didn't get too much attention or love during their appearance in the TV series, thus leading to quite a few cases of Rescued from the Scrappy Heap, especially for Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor. An outfit called BBV Productions produced audio plays and series of varying officialness during the Nineties: one starring Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant as "The Stranger" and "Miss Brown"; one starring Lalla Ward and John Leeson as "The Mistress" and "K-9"; and one starring Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred as "The Professor" and "Ace." None of these were licensed Doctor Who spin-offs, though BBV did obtain a license for K-9 directly from the writers who created the character (an approach they also used to have several recognizable monsters appear in their productions). The "Stranger" and "Mistress" series got away with it by having a low profile and just enough differences from the originals, but the "Professor and Ace" series attracted official notice because McCoy and Aldred were basically playing the same characters under the same names ("Professor" was what Ace always called the Doctor in canon, too), and the BBC stepped in to force some more filing-off of serial numbers. BBC Audio has produced several audiobooks featuring the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors. They also created three series of Fourth Doctor audio dramas, starring Tom Baker and Richard Franklin (reprising his role as Third Doctor "companion" Mike Yates). |

Pokémon: The Series: Pokémon has many Japanese-exclusive radio dramas. For example, The Rocket-dan's Secret Empire is a series of dramas where Musashi (Jessie) and Kojiro (James) act out plays together. In at least one case, their characters were named "Jessie" and "James" in reference to their Dub Name Changes. It's a White Tomorrow, Team Rocket!! is an Original Series drama where a Team Rocket delivery trainee named Mondo meets the Team Rocket trio. Pokémon: The Birth of Mewtwo was a Japanese-only radio drama backstory to Pokémon: The First Movie. It was later adapted into Mewtwo's Kidroduction for rereleases of the film. |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi and Negima!? had some drama CDs, which if nothing else, are notable for actually referencing the fandom's popular "KonoSetsu" Portmanteau Couple Name in one of the tracks. A more recent one is the Ala Rubra Drama CD. Specifically the following: Breaking Arika out of the prison. A Hot Springs Episode where the men of Ala Rubra try to take Eishun's glasses. Reenacting the part where Eishun is the Nabe Shogun and Rakan defeats him yet again with the same trick. Nagi VS Rakan. From fighting, an endurance race in the hot springs AND bungee jumping. THE ENTIRE Ala Rubra ships Nagi and Arika together. Even Rakan gives an example on how to sweet talk Arika to Nagi. Everyone's impressed except for Nagi who just laughs at it. |

Fire Emblem: Awakening has four CD dramas, each with different stories. The first one (with a male Avatar) depicts the days around Chrom's marriage and focuses on character interactions and some ambushes by Risen. The second (with a Female Avatar) revolves around someone's serious Sick Episode and the aftermath of Emmeryn's Heroic Suicide, alongside Henry and Lucina/"Marth"'s sort-of Teeth-Clenched Teamwork. The third (no defined Avatar) is all about the already Bad Future that Lucina and her fellow Second Generation characters are about to leave. The fourth and last one (also w/o a defined Avatar) is noticeably Lighter and Softer and about Lucina and the children's struggle to find Lucina's precious tiara and both Morgans incidentally meeting up with each other in the Outrealms. | |

In the late '70s, there was a short-lived radio show version of Fantastic Four. It reasonably faithfully followed the original comic issues, but is probably best known as a very early role of a pre-Saturday Night Live Bill Murray, playing Johnny Storm. | |

There was a brief attempt to adapt I Love Lucy as a radio show – a little ironic considering the concept started as a radio show years earlier – but after a single unaired trial episode was produced (using the same script as the TV episode "Breaking the Lease," fleshed out with descriptive narration from Arnaz as Ricky), the idea was abandoned. However, the radio pilot did have one positive effect: CBS executives had worried that Arnaz's accent was too thick for American audiences to understand. Hearing the radio pilot convinced them that his accent wasn't as thick and undecipherable as they had originally feared. | |
