If they are CDs or on a flash drive, you should be able to. I returned my player because the the cable connection was loose and I had to hold it in to use. Too bad, because the idea of combining an MP3 with a CD player is good.

Absolutely. MP-3 or regular CD work fine. There's an auxilliary input in the back that allows you to connect a clip-zip or other input as well. Good speakers - works great.

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.

yes I can play back discs that I have burned... I can play playaway audiobooks( preloaded digital players) and of course other CDs that are manufactured by a publisher. The sound is great. Jean

I don't use audible?, you can load mp3 audio books and they play just fine. So far the main complaint that I have about this player is the buttons are very sensitive and it's almost required to lock the controls out to listen to the whole story.

Hi,I wouldn't give up because it won't play WMA audio books as there are a lot of free programs available on the web that will convert WMA to MP3. It is an easy process and can be done in the background while you are working on other projects on the computer.ITunes and Windows Media Player will convert the files as well.There are lots of places on the net where you can download MP3 audiobooks without charge. Check out Librivox.org, gutenberg.org, and archive.org for free audiobooks.

You can download many free audiobooks in m4b format from www.gutenberg.com. iTunes imports them without any trouble and they can be downloaded to iPods from a playlist. The bookmark feature seems to work, my (20GB) iPod started up where I had left off.

I'm not familiar with any specialty audio book formats, but as long as it's in a standard audio format like mp3, it'll play. There's no specific audiobook section on the menu.

I do not think you are able to download audio books on this device. What you can do is move pictures and music files on the device and download any podcasts you may want. I hope this helps.

I''m using just for listening to music, but sound is great, that''s why I think you can use it for audio books also.

Unfortunately no, you cannot download audio books directly to this player..what you can do is download your audio to a computer hard drive, connect the walkman via usb, then transfer files. this device does not have internet capabilities.

As long as the book is an audio file yes. This can play through the car radio, anything that can be played through headphones

I like to use the software from the library (OVERDRIVE) i have been able to download audiobooks, but they dont play !!!! checked the OVERDRIVE site and says it SamS tab only supports mp3 files.

All right so technically you can burn any type of file into a disc. But you can't place a link on a disc and expect it to work in your CD player. You need to download the audio book to your computer in a burnable format (mp3, wma, etc.) first. From there you can proceed to burn the book to a disc. That's the only way it'll work for you. Hope it works out!

As far as I know it does not, because the Audible format is DRM'd if I'm not mistaken.

You cannot download them on the device itself it does not have internet capability. It the audio books are in a format it supports such as mp3 on a computer, then it is just a simple matter of plugging it in and dragging and dropping the file crom computer to the device. My daughter listens to books and podcasts on this device on her drives to and from college and she loves it.

Hi Jayne, I have not used for audio books but, I have downloaded audio lectures and bible studies, so I would think there would be no problemKathy
