is there an audiobook folder?

I made one, just like a subfolder on a PC. It comes up, not by my design, under the Music category. I think Sandisk recommends use of "Podcasts" for audiobooks.

Yes, but I caution you. This device is not easily navigated. With music, once the device has played a song, you have to go all the way back to the main menu to get back to the songlist. The swipe feature is ULTRA sensitive. I'd get it set up and it would jump 3 songs just putting it in my pocket!! Extremely frustrating!

Yes there is, but it very difficult and the chapters jump. I gave up after a few month, because I could not get any help from sandisc.I then bought a iPod and that works over iTunes like a charme.

With the proper application yes. As there are many providers of audio-books you would have to download the correct app to view them.

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 honestly do not know... I am having a hard time just trying to listen to the books I downloaded on to it.

I've never downloaded audiobooks before, but I think it should work. It is a regular ipod, if you can download it you can play it.

Won't play Audible books nor WMA books. For MP3 books, it puts files in order of A1, A10 - 19, then A2, A20-A29! A disappointment! Back to the SanDisk Clip.

My library uses an app called Overdrive which is a free download from Android market. It is used for both ebooks and audio books. There should be a link through your library's web page including instructions. This is needed in addition to standard formats that the library lists.

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...

Many thanks. From experiences with audible I know Nero software (which comes with the drive) is more than difficult. Using James's advice yielded excellent results.

Sadly, no. You can find digital copies in .pdf format at manuals.bethsoft.com, however.

You can buy them from Amazon, or check your local library's website. Our library lets you check out audio books online and download them to your computer. The lending period is 2 weeks. During that time, you can also transfer the audio book to your MP3 player. It works great with audio books because it starts up right where you left off. If you want to play music in between listening to books, you can use the bookmark feature.

yes you can bookmark audiobooks. This is done two ways. By default The player will remember where you left off and paused. The second way can be achieved in the menu section by hitting select. It's also the audiobooks has a handy Time elapsed counter that you can record. I have two of these devices one for me and one for my wife. It's a great device also considering that it's not lithium-ion you get a lot of hours out of it.

I have listened to many audiobooks, some of them quite large. I only do one at a time, with no music.

If there is I haven't found it. I play my audio through the computer and speakers.

Beast, love how you say that. Audio books work very well for me. Good features; pick up where you left off, option to speed up or slow down the speed up the audio. Just awesome. As you know you have to find some way of downloading the audio book (i used youtube). I dnt knw about audible and this player mixing

Try a public library website. Cuyahoga County in Cleveland and Fairfax County in Northern Virginia both allow patrons to download audiobooks through various formats. They can be loaded through Windows Media Player, although it seems very non-user friendly to me. Also, the files don't seem to hold their place. There may be commercial software to help with that process. On the Audible.com concern, maybe if we Audible.com subscribers banded together and began campaigning Sandisk to work with Audible.com to develop plug-ins, we'd get the issue solved! I sent a couple emails to Audible's technical support, and they basically said the ball's in Audible's (and my) court. Audible listeners of the forum unite!
