Re: Audible
I've got hold of an audiobook, John Sandford's Twisted Prey I'm completely unfamiliar with the format but I do listen to podcasts. Most podcasts last an hour or so, though, and are easily digestible with an app for Android or iOs like Pocketcasts.Having this big file (split into 31 chapters is a bit of a challenge on my MacBook - if I click on it, it will open in iTunes which isn't really what I want, playing through my laptop. They are mp3 files and there should be an easy way of playing them.
I can Airdrop it to the files application on my iPhone and listen that way which is better.
It won't upload to Google Play Music which would be my preferred option.
Still, at least I can start listening to my first ever audiobook. I think they should come with an electronic book copy in epub or amazon formats.

they burn to the CD as MP3 or MP4, do you have something that will play them like that? Or do you intend to listen through your PC?
