Andy, you are correct. Audible Manager is the player responsible for the
downloading of Audible content.
To answer Ray's question specifically, Audible Manager can playback Audible
books which are encoded in any one of four formats, with format one being
the lowest sound quality and obviously format four being the highest.
As Andy says, the files can be burned to regular audio CD but this takes up
a number of CD's.
The files can also be played using an iPod (including the Shuffle), if you
transfer the books using iTunes. Anapod Explorer will transfer the books
onto a Shuffle in format four only.
The Book Port and Book Courier will playback audible books, as will the pac
mate.

Tristram - by the Audible organiser, do you mean Audible Manager? As far as I know, Audible files will only play on a small number of players in their compressed format, though they can be burned to CD, but this produces loads of discs!

Audible only give the shuffle away with their audible listener programmes, and I think the commitment is 12 months unless anything has changed recently.
You should be able to transfer the audible material to any player provided you have the Audible organiser installed to receive the downloads. The downloads are normally encoded as MP3.

I wonder if, please, someone would mind clarifying the some questions I have
about Audible?
1. Audible is still offering the Ipod Shuffle as a 'give away'. Is this though tied to a commitment to take out a subscription? If so, for what period?
2. What players are people using to play these books? I understand a proprietory codec or system is used to play and transfer these files. I understand you may be able to transfer your Audible books to two or three devices. Is this true?
Thanks for any answers to these questions.
