Nokia Audiobooks
May 11th, 2008 by yohanes
I like listening to audio books using my iPod, because it can remember the last played position of a file, and I can easily seek to chapters and locations using the scroll wheel. Using built in media player in Nokia phones to listen to audio books is definitely not fun.
Fortunately Nokia have built a tool to listen to audiobooks. It uses AMR-WB format which will compress speech audio files to a very small size. You will need a converter tool (also provided by Nokia) to convert your audio book to the format accepted by Nokia Audiobooks.
The navigation function for reading audio books is much better compared to the built in audio book, and you can use bookmarks to mark a position in the book.
You can download some free audio books from LibriVox.
You can download this application from Nokia Beta Labs.
