aha - so that's what "slightly compressed" means. i dread to think what medium or heavy compression might mean in Audible Speak
1kbs if you are lucky

"so i took your 1440Kbs wav / your lossless 700Kbs flac and slightly compressed it to 32kbs"

i was listening yesterday to a Spotify podcast - excellent quality - probably many many more bits than audible's new "enhanced" offering. in fact a quick google suggests that Spotify only accept 96 - 320Kbs podcast file submissions- so at least triple what audible will sell you
