Frequently Asked Questions

General

  • What is Libro.fm all about?
    Libro.fm is your online independent store for audiobooks. We love audiobooks and want to make it easy for you to find great listens, including bestsellers. We also love our independence and are proud to sell audiobooks through your favorite indie bookstores. Learn more about us.
  • Why choose Libro.fm?
    We recognize that audiobooks lovers have a choice where they purchase audiobooks. We’ve compiled a list of reasons why Libro.fm should be at the top of any list.
  • Can I return my audiobook?
    Contact us at support@libro.fm and we’ll help you with any issue. Since all our audiobooks are DRM-free, we cannot accept returns or grant refunds. That said, we want you to be happy with your Libro.fm experience so please contact us and we’ll make things right.
  • Where is Libro.fm available?
    While Libro.fm a la carte audiobooks are available in most countries around the world, the membership offering is only valid for customers in the U.S. and Canada. Since publishers often restrict where certain audiobooks can be sold, you’ll be notified after you enter your credit card information if the audiobook is not available for purchase in your country (and of course, you won’t be charged should that be the case). Any issues getting an audiobook where you live? Shoot us an email at support@libro.fm.
  • Why don’t you have this author or that audiobook?
    While Libro.fm has more than 90,000 audiobooks and more than 90% of all the New York Times bestsellers, there are a few titles that are unavailable because of exclusive licenses granted by audiobook publishers and authors to Amazon’s Audible. We are fiercely independent and oppose Amazon’s efforts to keep the indies and others out of the audiobook business. We are actively working with publishers to make these titles available on Libro.fm and through independent bookstores. Email us at support@libro.fm to let us know if a title you want is missing.
  • What is the difference between abridged and unabridged audiobooks?
    An abridged audiobook is a more condensed or trimmed down version of a audiobook, while an unabridged is the full, original version. Sometimes audiobook publishers create abridged versions in order to make the audiobook more pleasant to listen to or to make them several hours shorter, which some people prefer. You’ll notice that we always specify whether each audiobook is abridged or unabridged along with how many hours long it is. Many times we have both versions to offer.
  • How do I select my favorite indie bookstore?
    Libro.fm lets you listen to digital audiobooks while still shopping local. It's easy: buy your audiobooks from your favorite independent bookstore listed here.

Listening

  • How do I listen to my audiobooks?
    Listening to your audiobooks is as simple as listening to music. Download the free Libro.fm app in the App Store, Google Play Store or Kindle and log in with the email and password you created on the Libro.fm site. You'll continue to purchase audiobooks from the Libro.fm site. Don't want to use the app? Just follow our simple download guide.
  • Do I own the audiobook? And can I listen to it on multiple computers and/or devices?
    Yes, you own the audiobook. Libro.fm is one of the few places where every audiobook is DRM-free (DRM stands for Digital Rights Management), which we like to call cage-free. This means that you own the file; we can’t change or delete the file once you’ve downloaded it, which is not the case for many digital booksellers. A DRM-free model fits our independent nature and it means you can listen to the audiobook anytime, anywhere, on any device. Declare your independence, #chooseindie.
  • How do I download a zip folder and listen on my computer?
    While we recommend using the Libro.fm iOS or Android app, it's easy to listen to audiobooks on your computer. You can download the zipped folder(s) containing the DRM-free MP3 files directly to your computer and import these files into your media player of choice. Just follow the steps below:
    1. Download the audiobook zip files to your computer.
    2. Unzip the files to get a folder of audio files.
      On a Mac: The zip files should automatically open and show you a folder with the audio files. If not, just double-click the zip files.
      On Windows: Right-click and select Extract All to get a folder with the audio files.
    3. Drag and drop the audio files into iTunes or the player of your choice.
