... I don't often post about computery thing because, despite the amount of time I spend on them, I don't actually have much interest in the technical side of things. What is annoying is when something you think is going to work doesn't, and you have no idea how to work around it.
I paid for and downloaded some podcasts from Audible.com last night, so that I could listen to them on my MP3 player, but stupidly (in my mind) they are in an absurd .aa format and will only run through the software you need to download, and not on my normal player which only accepts MP3 or WMA files. I feel a bit cheated, the point of podcasts is that you can take them on the move - I don't want to sit in front of my computer and listen to them.
Perhaps I am being stupid, there may be a way around it, but why not just sell MP3 files that everyone can use?
