Re: Audiobooks on iTunes

2013-12-11 Thread Aser Tolentino
According to an email I received from iTunes support, audiobooks can now indeed 
be re-downloaded. I still haven't tried it. Lately I found that iTunes prices 
for some audiobooks are comparable to those on audible.

Respectfully,
Aser Tolentino, Esq.

Re: Audiobooks on iTunes

2013-12-11 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
I heard that only one download is permitted with audio books purchased 
through iTunes, but that could have changed. I've never purchased them 
this way as they seem to be more expensive. So, I would highly recommend 
the audible.com route.

RE: Audiobooks on iTunes

2013-12-10 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Aser,

Why not just write an email to itunesstoresupp...@apple.com and ask them if
you can buy an Audio Book and, like apps, redownload it at any time later if
you happen to delete it. Then when you receive the answer you can share it
on the list.

Thanks,
Sieghard

I believe this has always been the case on audible, but it has not been so
on iTunes. I was wondering if there had been a change in the past few years,

You may have to set this up in iCloud, but when I go into iBooks and 
check my library, I have a button next to books I don't have on my 
iPhone that says download from iCloud.
