If you would like to learn more about other ways to listen to Audible, like via our smartphone app for iOS and Android devices, streaming from your desktop or laptop computer, or from an Alexa-integrated device, we’re happy to talk to you more about these options. If you switch to a different computer in the future, you will need to download a new software called AudibleSync, which we are working on now. You can continue downloading using the Audible Manager software on your computer if you would like, but you will need to make sure you are downloading in Enhanced format. If you prefer to listen to your Audible titles in format 4 audio, you will want to download them all to your device before we make the switch on. Your Audible titles are yours to keep and will be available for download in the new, higher-quality audio format. We’re excited about providing you with this higher-quality listening experience. Our records show that in the past, you may have downloaded your Audible titles on your Windows PC in an older audio format we call “format 4.” In the upcoming weeks, we will be moving all downloads to an enhanced, high-quality audio format and will no longer support format 4 downloading. I received this email from Audible today, just a heads up for those of us who are still using a PC to download Audible titles perhaps through Audible Manager to listen to on an iPod (like me, with Windows 8.1).
