I've never used audible.com, isn't that just a rental? So, like, do the files only play for so long before they expire? Cuz I only want it if I can keep it forever!

In response to message #0      I have used audible in the past and once I put the books on itunes they have stayed there (so far)... I am not very computer literate and my understanding of audible.com is that once you purchase the book you own it. But then I also back up my audio books on a thumbdrive in case something happens to my computer...

In response to message #1      If something happens to your computer, your audiobooks are also in your library at audible.com and can be accessed there. I've purchased audiobooks from iTunes in the past, also.

tracey e Member since Sep-3-05 4073 posts Feb-03-09, 06:16 AM (CST)   3. "RE: itunes?" In response to message #2   There's a gigantic price difference between audible and itunes. I figured there had to be a catch! Sounds like there isn't... Tracey Jupiter, FL   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

allydd Member since Feb-3-09 3 posts Feb-03-09, 07:33 PM (CST)   4. "RE: itunes?" In response to message #3      You just have to pay the monthly fee. If you are an avid book dowloader like I am, its actually cheaper in the long run. I buy up to five audiobooks a month bc I work out to them. I also listen to one when I clean bc I abhore cleaning. And I consider the perfect day to be one where I scrapbook AND listen to a great audiobook at the same time. I've always been a voracious reader, but I find that I can get so much more done if I download them from Audible and multitask while I listen to them. It's gotten to the point that I feel like something's wrong if I don't have a book to listen to on my iPod.   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

newbatgirl Member since Sep-1-07 55 posts Feb-03-09, 07:46 PM (CST)   5. "RE: itunes?" In response to message #4      I have a plan at audible that gives me one credit per month for my fee which is enough to buy one book. I do like the fact that the books you buy are also stored in your library on the site so if something happens to your hard-drive, you can redownload it again at no charge. I've also noticed that Audible.com has a better selection of UNABRIDGED books. Many times, iTunes is cheaper because they are selling the cheaper, ABRIDGED versions.

In response to message #5      That's what I have to and I get so excited when I see that one credit at the top of the page. It's like Christmas morning all over again. And then I get to go and search through the books I haven't listened to yet to pick out the PERFECT one.   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

dlehker Member since May-22-07 399 posts Feb-03-09, 08:09 PM (CST)   7. "RE: itunes?" In response to message #6      First, I downloaded WIDFL from audible. Audible has a licensing deal with itunes. If you sign up with a plan at audible you also get a discount on any book that you purchase outside of the plan. Audible will get the best sellers the first day they come out, it takes itunes a few weeks to get it in their selectioms. Audible has the software for the PC to download directly to itunes. It makes it seamless. If you use a Mac the process is completely seamless, you don't even need to download the software. I am a complete computer moron, but I know how to get my audiobooks. Overall, buying through audible is a better deal. Dawn   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I get 24 credits to use immediately. No waiting. I am an absolute audio junkie. I can't help myself.   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
