Telltale Weekly Audiobooks Now Offered as AAC

Posted by Hemos on from the for-the-purist-in-you dept.

Alex writes "My audiobook project Telltale Weekly now offers DRM-free AAC downloads of its entire catalog of audiobooks in addition to already-supported Ogg Vorbis and MP3. Probably one of the most-requested features since we started. We also released our first booklength work last month, meaning that an unabridged reading of War of the Worlds will be free online in 5 years or sooner."

    You need to look at his site and see his business model. It's currently released and costs $8 (at least for th Ogg Vorbis version).

    After a couple years, he will release it to the public domain (or some other free license).

    if those files are AAC files, I believe that all you need to do to change it over to the book behavior is rename the file to the extension .m4b and reimport it into iTunes. That is the iTunes Music Store audiobook format, and it treats it as such based on the file extension. There may be something along those lines for mp3s as well...
