I actually like Audible quite a lot. Never had problems with them
for any of my MP3 players. Mostly I use Audible with my iPod. The
quality of the books is good, and while I'm not a fan of DRM either,
it is a reality we have to deal with. If you can name a service
that has anywhere close to the selection of Audible for audio books
to download DRM free, I'm all ears. You say there are better ones
out there. Let's here them? And Podio books don't cut it. They're
great for what they are, but I want to read the latest Stephen King
or Terry Brooks. For the very reasonable cost of Audible, I can
live with the DRM. Plus, you can burn books to CD if you really
need to axe the DRM badly enough. Right now i get two audio boo
credits per month for $21.95. That's less than half the cost of
most audio books on CD.

Laughs, Fwow darcy. I'm startin to feel like a great big winer
here, but let me dispatch all this with a couple of short rejoinders.
I don't use audible. Never have, probably never will. It's a
terrible system and there are much better download services out
there. Amazon just bought audible out, so there is hope on the
horizon, but audible as it stands sounds terrible, and comes locked
down against all of my mp3 players, for my two major complaints.
In vlc, I can press command shift O, and hit enter on a folder
which has my book in it, and the files in that folder will play in
the right order. No fuss, no muss It also has a jump to time
function built in so no need to install the add on, although the
script from Tim's site does look quite nifty. I'm sure I can make
smart play lists if I had to, but I do... Not... Need, to make
smart play lists. That's just baggage.
Best,
Erik
