Audiobook Downloads and Rentals FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Audiobook Downloads and Rentals

    What about sound quality?

    We recognize that sound quality is a very subjective thing. Some people may hear great differences between an MP3 and CD, and others may not. Every service we tried was perfectly listenable. However, using high end headphones we were able to detect some differences between different formats. Those users with particularly sensitive hearing may find the portion of the review dealing with sound quality to be useful.
