Only the supported devices listed on the audible website will play audible files. This does include some cell phones, such as the HP I-Pack, but I don't know if your phone is supported. You'd have to check the list on the audible site.
It is illegal to circumvent the audible encription in any way. You can download as many copies of a program to as many devices as you have activated, but it's not legal to defeat the encryption in order to copy programs to non-activated devices. On the download screen, there is a link to "listen online" but I'm not sure if this would work with portable devices such as cell phones, and I suspect that the site might be busy enough to prevent this from working well, although I've never actually tried it. I always download the programs and copy them to my Book Port which is a supported device. There are 2 mailing lists devoted to discussions among audible users. I recommend these lists.

McFarlane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 5:36 AM Hi I'm new to Audible books and am looking for some advice. I gather that the books can be read in Media Player and Real Player. Does this apply to Real Pla;yer on a phone (Nokia 9500) or has there to be some other software or codec available before Audible's format is recognised. Alternatives for listening on a mobile phone or other device using MP3 - are there any? Can the files be converted - is this legal if you're just using your own books which you've downloaded? Thanks in anticipation for any help. Feel free to reply off list if you wish.
