Two interesting things I've found with VDR. 1. You don't have to zip up your mp3 files to to get them into VDR. It's great if a book has lots of small files that are only a few minutes long, but if they're longer files, like those from GrapicAudio, I don't bother zipping them. I just stick the mp3's into Dropbox and follow the same process as you would for adding a zipped book into VDR. 2. VDR can apparently handle m4a files. I have a sample of Ivona Amy that someone (I think it was Richard Turner from this list) gave me, and it's in m4a.
