Where can one get Zune audio book downloads? This is a good question which many Zune users are asking from the frequent searches for terms like “audio books for Zune”. This form of media is still relatively new in fact but more are turning to it instead of reading the physical books. If you are on the bandwagon, then here are 4 tips and tricks that will help you with your audio book downloads for Zune.
Avoid interruptions during Zune audio book downloads. Whether you are downloading from the Zune Marketplace or from another website, one must carefully watch the download time and continuity. Avoid making bandwidth or Internet connection-hungry activities on your computer while downloading an audio book.
The worst thing to happen is to suffer a break in the downloading sequence and lose a few chapters in the process. This can be a major disappointment. Try to let your Zune software run on its own without trying to do a few things simultaneously so that it can download the full content of the audio book you want.
One more tip to learn here is this. You can actually burn and rip iTunes audio books that you own and play them on your Zune player. However, the challenge here is that iTunes’ audio books are DRM protected. But there is a neat trick to bypass this. First, burn the iTunes audio book onto a CD and encode it in WMA format. After that, rip the audio CD into your PC library. Next, upload it only your Zune software. Then you are free to play it on your Zune player.
Just a piece of advice though, be careful not to distribute or post the ripped media on the Internet. Converting iTunes audio books to Zune audio book downloads must be kept for personal use only.
What if you cannot find the topic you are interested in on the web? You can always do a search in the public libraries. Ask them for copies of their books on CDs or purchase it from them. After that, rip them off and save the audio content on your Zune.
Online auctions like eBay are great places to find audio books also. If paying $30 to $40 for an audio book is too expensive for you, you can go to eBay and buy your Zune audio book downloads for less than $7. Whether it is a romance novel or science-fiction book, you can find a wide selection of audio books on eBay.
From the above methods, you will realize that you do not need to be rich in order to enjoy the audio books. All you need are these practical and useful tips and tricks to get your Zune audio book downloads.
