iPod audio books

 

So you’ve got an iPod and you listen to songs and music videos on it. You love it. But did you also know you can listen to iPod audio books? It’s a great new way to utilize your iPod. There’s one problem though, right? iPods are known as being persnickety – they only like Apple’s products.   So, can you download iPod audio books from whatever source you want to? Of course you can. Here’s how.

 

iPod uses a format called m4b. Now, some audio book websites make you choose the format that you download in. We don’t do that because it locks you into using that audio book in one specific way. At audiobookcottage.com we let you download our books and then you can change it to any format you want to. So, you can download your audio book and then transfer it to your iPod, listen to it on your computer, or burn it onto a CD. When you download audio books from any site other than iPod’s site, you will have to convert it to a form which iPod can read. That’s no problem. iTunes has a download that will do the converting for you with easy to follow instructions.   Don’t be intimidated by your iPod. You might have in the past shopped only at the iTunes and iPod store but you aren’t forced to solely shop their products. There are plenty of places that sell iPod compatible audio books and audiobookcottage.com is one of those places.

 

Now remember that you want to make sure that you are following copyright law. Only listen to audio books and iPod audio books that you have purchased the rights to have. You don’t want to use technology to convert any kind of file without having the legal ownership or legal use of that file. We encourage all customers to support their music artists, authors, and these industries by following the law.

 

Maybe you haven’t used audio books on your iPod before because you didn’t know you could or you weren’t sure how. Now you know that you aren’t locked into buying from iPod only and that there are exciting new ways to use your iPod. Have fun entering the world of audio books with your iPod. You’ll be amazed at what you’ve been missing.
