Finally putting my Audible membership to good use!

Hi all..

New iPod user here - actually, got the mini on Friday night.

I had been a member with Audible off and on for a while... resigning up lately with their 1 audiobokk / 1 subscription a month plan. I had planned on using it with my new Palm PDA (iQue), but the sound quality basically sucked.

One of the reasons that I got the iPod was the fact that it was directly compatible with Audible. On Saturday, I "purcahsed" Ender's game and the WSJ subscription. $40 of content "free".

I've been listening to Ender's Game (never read any of the books.. but wanted to) and the sound quality is great! I wish that iTunes could work directly with Audible.com, but I am more than content to just use the Audible Manager and then iTunes (or Anapod, if I go that route).

Woohoo!! I went from Otis to iPod. The sound quality is definitely better. Of course Otis only supports formats 2 and 3. And I have plently of space on my 'Pod for format 4. I just wish all titles were available in format 4. :(

I am loving the 'one book one/subscription plan' as well. I've purchased a number of other spoken word/stand up 'books' as well - well priced, easy to manage the downloads.

My subscription to 'This American Life' is kicking my lame white (EDIT). Once I pay off this new Powerbook, I'm sure to spend more of my hard-earned money on audible.

Audible +iPod User's Guide (Click Here) (http://www.ipodlounge.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13039) Can't imagine using anything but Audible Manager and iTunes with 3G or mini.
