Hi Kawal, Happy holidays to you too! Hope you're enjoying a break and keeping warm.
Since Apple messed up audiobook navigation in the iOS 7 Music app, I have been using the Audible app. However, there are two reasons why I still like to download Audible audiobooks on my Mac. First, Audible doesn't guarantee access to your books in the cloud. They reserve the right to remove books from your library if the publisher at anytime restricts their right to distribute audiobooks to your area, or if the book was banned for any other reason. I have seen this happen before, that audiobooks which were available to me later became unavailable. So I like to have local copies of all my audiobooks and to make my own bakcups of this content. It also protects me in the event Audible decides that customers must have a membership to access their library. Second, I often like to listen to my audiobooks on my iPod Nano. It conveniently attaches to my wrist and has a 24 hour battery life, so I can listen to it for a long time without using up my iPhone or iPad battery. The only way to get content on to it though is through syncing with iTunes. So while downloading Audible audiobooks on my Mac is not necessary for me to listen to them, I still do it and I think it's important that all VO users have this option. Thankfully it's still possible, though a little fiddly. Best, Nic -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
