One is to use the Nokia Audio : book player from their beta labs web site. This is a little fiddly. It can : convert MP3 audio books into the same codec NLS is using for its audio : books, which is optimised for speech at low bit rates. The up side is that : these files take up little disk space, although with 16GB SDHC cards about : to start shipping, this is becoming less and less an issue. The maximum : capacity of SDHC is eventually going to be 32GB. The down side is that it : takes time to do the conversion. : : In more recent times, I've been using a program called Scheherazade. This is : an audio book program that also includes voice tagging, in case you want to : make audio notes when you listen. It remembers your place in each audio book : in case you have several books on the go at once. If I've scanned print : books with Openbook for example, I can save them to MP3 and read them with : Scheherazade, and it will remember my place if I go and do something else. : It can be downloaded from : http://www.platysoft.com.au/Downloads.aspx : : The newer Nokia N-series phones also support Microsoft Protected Windows : media Audio. That means if you have access to Overdrive in your area, you : can listen to protected Overdrive content, or for that matter, the new RFB&D : downloaded audio books. I haven't tried this, but Scheherazade claims to : support all formats the phone supports. So this might be a way for people to : have a playback option on Symbian that remembers your place in this kind of : content. : : Hope this helps. : : Jonathan : : -----Original Message----- : From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : On Behalf Of Gary King : Sent: Sunday, 21 September 2008 5:12 a.m. : To: PC Audio Discussion List : Subject: Re: MP3 Playback Options : : Jonathan, : : What MP3 player are you using for audio books? : : Gary King : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : : ----- Original Message ----- : From: "Jonathan Mosen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> : Sent: Friday, September 19, 2008 11:58 PM : Subject: RE: MP3 Playback Options : : : > Keith, good for you that you have an N95.
