I have one and would not recomend it for audiobooks. The controls are poorly designed and it's impossible to fast foward and rewind in the same track.

I don't have an audio book on mine yet, but for a song, there is a play speed option when you hold down the right side of the screen for an extra 2 seconds. It can be set to 0(default), 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Not sure what speeds they correspond to. Since audio books are part of the Music library options, I would guess this option is also available for audio books.I have firm-ware version 2.01US, so you might have to upgrade if your player has an older firmware. I didn't remember seeing the audio books option in the earlier firmware.

Just convert the wma to an mp3 using a free converter program that you can download from the web. If the audio book says that you cannot do that right click on the audio book, go to properties, and change the properties of the audio book file, from read only or archive, and then convert it using the converter program. If you have Nero software, it is easy to convert, just uncheck the box in properties, that stops you from converting. I think that should do it, if not, then I guess there is another way that I do not know, and someone else will be able to help you.

You can tell Siri to connect you to Bluetooth, but you have to physically pair it with the Aquasound.

I'm not familiar with any specialty audio book formats, but as long as it's in a standard audio format like mp3, it'll play. There's no specific audiobook section on the menu.

Good question and I don't think I can answer it but can tell you my experience. I haven't been able to figure out how to use my Surface 2 to download books from audible.com AND upload those audiobooks to my underwater audio iPod. I have resorted to using my several years old Dell laptop just for this purpose but it's not going to last much longer and I need to try to figure out how to use my surface 2 to do this task. I don't use my iTunes account for any other purpose. But your question makes me wonder if perhaps it's not just me.

Yes, you can download and listen to audio books if they are in a digital format such as mp3, wma, wav, audible, etc.

Marian, you are wrong. I second Flora's comment: Audible audiobook are natively supported by iPods. Audible support is explicitly listed in iPod tech specs!

I listen to audiobooks on my iPod all the time, you just import the CD's as MP3s into iTunes, and then drag them onto the shuffle. I find the audio quality of the library editions and Audible to be unacceptable (similar to am radio). The iPod also bookmarks your last position when you turn it off as long as your battery is charged. You do not have to use "aac" (Apple audio file format) files on the iPod, you can use MP3s, which is the standard format.

Unfortunately no, you cannot download audio books directly to this player..what you can do is download your audio to a computer hard drive, connect the walkman via usb, then transfer files. this device does not have internet capabilities.

The radio feature does work however I can't say just how well as I have a playlist to swim by. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I've used it to play audiobooks borrowed from the library using the Overdrive application: https://www.overdrive.com/Only works on the mp3 books and you have to use the application to loads them onto the player.

I also don't have a Clix, but one of the reviewers (GM on January 9, 2007), said this:"Audio support allows you to listen to books from your local library."Also, the PlaysForSure site lists the Clix (doesn't say Clix 2):http://www.playsforsure.com/ItemDetail.aspx?id=167

The library's a great suggestion -- thanks! I called both SanDisk and Audible to complain about their mutual incompatibility and was told by both that it was up to SanDisk. Anyway, my lesson from all of this is that I should look into these things more thoroughly before I buy another player (which hopefully won't be any time soon!).

Yes, I use my shuffle only for audiobooks which I get from the library or Audible.com. First, Connect Shuffle. Then, 1) download book to OverDrive Media Console. 2) Open Finder, book chapters should appear in Finder. 3) Open iTunes: click on File on task bar; click/open "Add to Library" in drop down dialog box. 4) Go back to Finder and highlight book/chapters in Finder. 5)drag chapters to music under devices in "Add to Library" dialog box. 6) Click "open" at bottom of screen. 7) Click "sync" at bottom of screen. Hope this helps. I think I got the steps in order. Seems confusing at first, but after you do it a few times it's easy. Enjoy listening.

Haven't used it with AudioBooks, but there is an option under Music for "Audio Book". I upgraded my firmware to 2.01US, so you may have to upgrade your firmware if the option isn't there.
