alexpgpAmong the other "features" of Apple's 10.4 release of iTunes is the apparent loss of the ability to sync Audible books.
For its part, Audible insists that you use iTunes if you want to listen to their stuff on an Apple media player (e.g., iPod, iPad).
As I sped through the Kansas countryside this evening, I became acutely aware of just how out-of-luck one can be in listening to the radio if one has never developed a taste for coverage of high school football games. I was subsequently curious to note that my iPad contained no Audible books, which do a dandy job of passing the time while one is driving.
Le sigh.
A scan of the Internet suggests that the 10.4.1 release of iTunes merely refined some of the bugs that were so prominent in 10.4.0, so we shall exercise discretion until the bugs are killed instead of made more destructively efficient.
Only 3.5 weeks until the Kindle Fire comes out. Now, that should be interesting.
Cheers...
