Audible books play on Win and OSX machines, you could always play books
on your PC and use waveinput to get it to your SB device.

Audible is owned by Amazon.

Audible uses DRM (copy protection), so it won't work.

Re: [slim] Audible books on squeezebox?

2012-09-10 Thread RonM

For context, Audible is a company that sells audio books for various
mobile platforms, i.e. iPhone, Android, Blackberry, as well as selected
MP3 players.  It seems the purchased books are downloaded to the device,
and can be configured so that you can listen to a chapter, and then read
the next chapter on the screen, etc.  Nifty.  

It seems to require the presence of an app on the device, so even if you
could break the DRM it is unlikely it would work functionally as a
simple MP3 file. 

Their pricing model is interesting -- basically a subscription model
with a base price of $15 (there is a starter special deal) which gives
you one book a month, plus discounts on extra books.

[slim] Audible books on squeezebox?

2012-09-09 Thread oilman

On my wish list I would like the squeezebox to support Audible books so
I could read audible books.

If the audio book is on CD you can just rip it like any other CD and
play it back through your Squeezebox player from your Squeezebox server
(LMS). If your audio book is already a MP3 you can just put it in your
current Squeezebox server folder, scan for new and updated and then play
it back through your Squeezebox. It all depends on the original format
of your audio book, but there's almost always a way to get it into your
Squeezebox system.
