It's AAC files, made popular recently as the default format for iTunes. Speaking of iTunes, like many applications it stores it's album art outside the music files. You can store album art in MP3s, but it is slower to extract it from the music file itself so some apps (like iTunes) maintain a seperate database for the album art.

The Reader will already play AAC files, but the Audible software adds some nice touches. Not the least of which is unlocking Audible's stinkin' DRM. ![]() |

I miss Audible! It was great having that bookmark feature. My 5th gen iPod can't even do that (very well) -- I'm forever forgetting where I left off on an audiobook.

Ah! Thank you for clarifying, Leaping Gnome -- I was nowhere close to following what you were saying!

Does anyone know how to "export" MP3 from the Connect SW. Don't listen to music on my reader but this thread made me check it out & wondered at the lack of an export capability.

The only time I listen to music while reading is when I'm trying to block out ambient noise, such as conversations nearby. In that case I listen to nature sounds, like ocean waves, to provide white noise.

Audio quality is pretty bad. Very audible background hiss, at least on my device. Nice try, but no cigar.

Even a high-quality MP3 (320kbps) exhibits this background hiss. It does depend on the type of music and volume level, though. My iPod doesn't have this problem with the same pair of (high-quality) Sennheiser in-ear plugs. But then again, that's a dedicated MP3 player, so it's not really a fair comparison.

Just for the heck of it try a different pair of headphones. I haven't tried mine yet but will check it out tonight.
