GraphicAudio can be hit and miss. The audio quality is usually excellent, and they do a great job with the sound effects. Depending on what's going on in the scene, it can sometimes be hard to hear the narration over them, and sometimes the audio direction could be better -- an example being a disconnected phone call that continued to play a dialtone through another paragraph of narration becaust it wasn't explicitly said that the character hangs up the phone until then. They're pretty minor complaints.

The biggest issue I've found is their source material. Some of their scripts are really, really terrible. They do their own adaptation of the source to turn it into the dramatized version, and seem to do a better job with action/adventure types of material.

Go look at their podcast. Episode 19 includes the first hour of Elantris so you can evaluate for yourself.

A handy tagging tool for audiobooks on Windows is MP3 Book Helper, which has some nice features and can be used for other MP3 files. It hasn't been updated in a while, so I don't know if there are any issues with Win 7 or 64-bit OS, but worth a look.
