Does it play DRM WMA audiobooks from the public library?

If it can be downloaded on a computer audio file I think you can but don't take my word for it

Yes you can listen to audio books. I would suggest making it a playlist so you can find it if you have other play lists loaded.

Yes. It will play ripped ISO files and VOB files (in a folder), including DVD menu and all features.

The Manual says that it will play CD MP3 Audio Files . I haven't tried one.

Well it plays blu ray and dvd movies as well as music CDs. So it should be able to play audio books on a cd disc but if your asking if you can read books on the funai player the answer is no. Hope this helps.

Yes, it plays MP3's. My biggest complaint about this stereo is that its volume is extremely low. It also will not play *.wma files.

I download audiobooks from my library through Overdrive so I can listen to protected wma files. I can also listen to audible and standard mp3.

I haven't tried audio books on it, just music but audio books are trickier. They have to be in a compatible format and there is more than one. Sometimes I can't use audio books from the public library because of the format. If you are trying to do Kindle, you may need to get an APP. I am surprised at the poor response from Audible. I have usually had good luck with them. Maybe the techs from Pyle can help you find out which audio book format you need to put them on the player or if it is possible at all. Good luck.

YES, it does play wma files. All my music files are wma -- I downloaded the CDs I had on my computer which still runs windows XP.

The review by Lynn from Texas provides insight into this. While previous models supported Digital Rights Management (DRM), this model, produced in 2012, does not. What that means is that this model will not play .wma (DRM) files that you download from your library site. While virtually all downloadable books from the library are offered in .wma (DRM) format, a good number are downloadable as .mp3 files which do not have DRM applied. When checking out your file, if you see a 'Select Format' dropdown, select it and choose ".MP3". Your player will be able to play these files. Again, older models produced before 2012 do play .wma (DRM) files and there may be some used/refurbished ones around. Otherwise, the Sansa is still a good option.

You don't need an MP3 player...you can also download the books from your computer to a flash drive, then, plug that into the unit. It will recognize the files as long as they are in a compatible audio format such as .wma...

No. I bought it JUST for audiobooks, not music. It shuffles chapters, even though I have it turned to direct play. If you accidentally hit the forward or back button, forget trying to find your original place.

The owner's manual states under CD's that it plays MKV, Xvid, JPEG, MPOAAC, FLAC, MP3, Music [CD-DA], WAV, WMA. It states it is compatible with CD-R and CD-RW and of course Music CD's. I can't say I have honestly played an MP3 disc on the machine since I usually play my music CD's on a high end Denon machine I have hooked up for that purpose. I will say I love the BluRay player. It loads as fast as a standard DVD and the Net features are also great.

Yes sorry that post for Soundfly SD unit. What kind of SD card are you using? This unit can play WMA and MP3 files with NON-DRM protection.ArthurSatechi Technical Support

It only plays MP3 files; suggest you use Audacity to convert your wma format into mp3 format
