Is it good to listen audiobooks? If I download them from ITunes ?

You would have to put in ear plugs into your ears to probably listen to an audiobook...as there is quite a bit of "water" noise around your ears.........worth a try I guess.

I don't know. A lot of songs from itunes are not configured for the Neptune so I don't know if audiobooks are configured correctly.

I've transferred podcasts from iTune and it works great, I think it would work the same way with audiobooks.Just so you know, I don't think it can connect directly to iTunes, you would have to find the audiobook file in the file system and then transfer it to the player if you have a Mac you can right click the file in iTunes and select "Show In Finder". Also note that it seems like it has a difficulty loaded large files, it works but i suggest to split the large file to multiple small ones. Enjoy,N

I always swim with earplugs, anyway. The sound is clearer and I don't have to hear the music of the "Aquacize" class in the other side of the pool. I am in my own little world and have been through several audiobooks this way! To hear the majority of the words and not mess with the plot and flow of the story, ear plugs are a must.

Depending on the type of swimming you do you may be able to listen to audio books. If you stay under water the whole time, like with a snorkel mask, that will most likely work. However, regular breathing strokes where your head is rolling in and out of the water make audio books and podcasts hard to listen to.

I don't use itunes, so I can't answer specifically to that standard. However, if you can get the itunes into the "mp3" format I'm pretty sure this player would play them well. There is even some capability in the SANSA software that will convert. I have a number of these players and I've given them to my kids and my wife. Everyone likes them, though my kids are using their phones more for players now.

Not easily. I listen to podcast and find the rewinding or fast forwarding process to be very clunky. Thankfully the podcast are short so re-listening to something doesn't take too much time. I would think it would be hard to listen to audio books this way.

I've had mine for a couple weeks, listening primarily to Audible.com books. So far, it's been the best I've found (aside from an iPod) with resume (interestingly, if the sleep timer shuts off the system, when you turn it back on, you don't need to hit play: it just starts playing where it left off). I haven't tried with any books using a DRM system yet, though.

I have not used it with audio books but I have for other audio, like music and video..... and it does enhance the sound a great deal.

I think if want to download audible files to it, you'll just have to convert it to MP3. Hope this helps!

Yes indeed! I tested a bunch of different programs and they all worked fine inclusing Audible. :)

Yes you can, although I haven't done so yet. You can find apps for doing this at https://play.google.com/store/search?q=audio+books&c;=apps.

I can download podcasts from itunes & have no problem. I haven't needed to convert. I use Musicmatch Jukebox to download onto the sansa.

I have copied numerous books from CD into ITunes and then synced them to my IPod. I assume that copying Audible books is similar. Check out this page:http://www.audible.com/dc

Yes, you can! I download audio books from the library using the Overdrive platform and it recognizes the player. It actually works really well for books (but not for playlists).

Sorry this answer is a few days late. I am not sure exactly about books. However, I have copied CDs onto the iPod with no trouble. I have also downloaded files from iTunes as well as other audio files onto the iPod and they work fine. My guess is that either a CD audio book or a purely digital audio file of a book would work perfectly fine.

Yes, I haven't run into any problems yet. Works with downloads from Audible among others.

Yes you can listen to audio books. I would suggest making it a playlist so you can find it if you have other play lists loaded.

never tried to put a book on this AWESOME device. As long as you can get the book in MP3 format you will be fine. I know my songs in iTunes I had to convert to MP3 format and then they went on the player just fine. Hope this helps!

You are wrong about the larger ipods not being ale to play books from sources other than Apple. I get two or three books a month from audible and they work great on my 60g ipod. The bookmarks work and I have no trouble at all. I have 69 books (including Atlas Shrugged at 55 hrs and The Fountainhead) and every album my wife and I own and haven't hit 15 gig yet.

iTunes will play WAV natively as well (my iTunes library is all junked up with voicemails in WAV format). For editing, the free program Audacity is excellent, in my opinion.
