Linux Friendly Audiobooks
,----[ Quote ]
| When people first think of getting
| audiobooks online, they probably think of
| Audible. But, Audible has one really big
| problem: DRM (Digital Rights Management).
| I.e. every book you buy from Audible is
| encrypted so that you can only listen to it
| using a very limited number of applications
| and media devices. There is no application
| for Linux to play Audible audiobooks, and
| Android devices donât support playing
| Audible files (yet anyway) either. Quite
| frankly, when you purchase a book from
| Audible, you are not buying it, you are only
| renting it. Even if you have a player that
| is compatible now, in 5 years when you get
| the urge to listen again, it is likely that
| your new device or computer will no longer
| be able decrypt the file. If you are lucky,
| Audible may pull an Apple and offer to
| remove the DRM from the file for additional
| cash out of your pocket; so you can finally
| own the book you thought you already bought.
| However, there is no guarantee of even thatâ

Linux Outlaws 118 - Naughtify OSD
,----[ Quote ]
| We recorded this episode in one room together
| and are releasing to as soon as possible with
| minimal editing for a change. Since both of us
| are away for LugRadio Live and OggCamp at the
| moment, this was the only way to get the
| content out there without having a massive
| delay. Therefore, show notes will be added
| later, basically as soon as we get to it (most
| likely after the LRL/OggCamp weekend has
| wrapped up).
