Yes, I use my shuffle only for audiobooks which I get from the library or Audible.com. First, Connect Shuffle. Then, 1) download book to OverDrive Media Console. 2) Open Finder, book chapters should appear in Finder. 3) Open iTunes: click on File on task bar; click/open "Add to Library" in drop down dialog box. 4) Go back to Finder and highlight book/chapters in Finder. 5)drag chapters to music under devices in "Add to Library" dialog box. 6) Click "open" at bottom of screen. 7) Click "sync" at bottom of screen. Hope this helps. I think I got the steps in order. Seems confusing at first, but after you do it a few times it's easy. Enjoy listening.

Maybe! You need to know what format your audiobook is in. A true audiobook will have an extension of ".m4b" which I have not tested. This is a special "flavor" of the mpeg-4 standard. It has samples of James Patterson's books, which are in the mp3 format that it will play. So if your audiobook is in the mp3 format it will play. It does also play e-books, which are not the same thing.

My only thought for water aerobics is that the earbuds I received almost require a strap from the goggles to work. The wires are too short to allow the Shuffle to be clipped to your suit, even if it's a ladies suit with shoulder straps. It MUST be clipped to the goggles or perhaps something clipped to your hair.

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.

Hi,Yes you can definitely listen to podcasts. Audiobooks are also an option to listen to on an iPod shuffle.Underwater Audio Customer Service

nope!! you can go to audible's website to confirm but I have tried repeatedly - not able to convert... unless you copy it to a cd and then copy to the player

No, you can not. Despite their claims, you can not listen to the stations of your choice. The stations must provide the proper MP3 format, and many have other formats, if any. This item sits here on my desk, unused and unusable for the purpose I was lead to believe it would fulfill.

If the book is in MP3 format, I don'w see why not! Enjoy your swimming routine!

you can listen to audio books IF you burn them to disk first in an mp3 format. if you wish to read each chapter individually, I would suggest that you convert each chapter to mp3 format, so that they become their own mp3/track.That way you can skip previous chapters to catch up to where you are in the book.

I have one and would not recomend it for audiobooks. The controls are poorly designed and it's impossible to fast foward and rewind in the same track.

I'm glad you warned me. I notice there are firmware upgrades on their site. But why would I have to upgrade a brand new player? One of them said it was necessary to listen to audible books? I hope not. I may very well get back to you with questions. Thank you again!

Well if you have dual hearing aids like I do and an APP to a local radio station that is on the interentI supposed you could listen to FM music some how. You wont find any radio stations on the watch unless it has an APP:.

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.
