I use the local library, and download e-audiobooks - I use MP3, so do not know if it works with the Ipods - cost is free.

Graphic audio
I listen to them all the time. However you have to first download the file and then use a program called wmaconvert to be able to download it to your ipod. becouse of a security certificate issue. It is only ten dollars or so and the graphic audio is about ten dollars a book if you download from the website. I do about 2 books a week. They are audio dramas with a full cast and sound effects.

WMA on iTunes
Actually, if you have the newest version of iTunes, it will convert .wma files into .acc or .mp3 files for use on the ipod.

ipod convert
Graphic audio files have the DRM, Digital rights management protection and it is that that ipod will not convert. That is what the wmaconvert does. The DRM is like a copywrite protection. Correct me if I am wrong on this.

That sounds like the difference between an .mp3 file and an .acc file. Apple created the .acc file to be a higher quality, copywrite protected audio file for the itunes software. That's the only way they got the record labels to allow them to sell music on line.

Not sure about the copywrite on a .wma file. I try to stay away from anything created by Microsoft. I have used the convert function on itunes when a wma file was all i could find.

My local library offers audio books (free rental) in various formats (I prefer cassette tapes). I am able to place a hold on any tape from any library in the system and have it delivered to my local library.

I would like to know what other people are listening to...

I like Richard Ferrone as a narrator. My taste in authors--John Sandford, Jeffrey Archer, Stephen Hunter... and even though I'm a guy, I'll admit to liking Jane Austin and the Bronte sisters.
