Audible listener programme:

Audible Listener is a monthly listening programme for people who love to hear great audio at a great price. BasicListener provides members with one audiobook each month. PremiumListener provides members with two audiobooks each month.

Audible uses some security technologies, including encryption, to protect from purchased programmers. Some typical MP3 files contain the similar kind of audio data but are not protected in this fashion. This encryption means you will not be able to convert the Audible format to MP3. These measures are required to protect the intellectual property rights of their Content Providers and Authors. MP3 compression technology offers a number of different compression levels. Audible has chosen a level that is appropriate for spoken audio programming, resulting in smaller files and longer playback time in listening devices.

Audible UK sells digital audio books from authors including Michael Moore, Robert Harris, Bill Bryson and Michael Crichton. Listeners can stream them from the site or download them to their computers for playback later or burning to CD. At Audible UK, the recordings can also be ported to a compatible portable player like the iPod.
