The audiobook is ish mb, and it's too big for my phone's storage. I noticed I could download it in parts with the Audible app so I tried that instead.
I tried to send the first part of the book to my phone android , and it still tried to download the book as a whole. I am at a loss for what to do. I had intended on listening to the audiobook on my phone, but now it seems like i'm up a creek without a paddle. What else can I try? Do you have the audible app on your phone? Or how are you downloading? You won't be able to use your Nano, unfortunately, but at least you will be able to listen to the complete book without problems.
I've not had this issue on either my iPod Touch or iPhone. I've dealt with several books that were 1GB or larger in size and none of them have caused the described problems. I can only assume it's something to do with the Nano's processing of these larger files, which is inconvenient. At least Audible knows about it and has suggested workarounds. Thanks for all of the help and research. It seems the alternative methods are going to be the only option unless Apple decides the issue is worth attention.
I find myself wondering if the problem is a hard file size limit, or if there are other factors. I am almost certain that I have listened to some books that are larger than the problematic ones. One thing, if you haven't experienced this, don't feel safe from it. Read the information from Audible again, this is not a Nano problem, it is an Apple problem. I tried the affected books on my Nanoo which is 5th gen, a 4th gen Nano, a new Shuffle, an iPad 2, an iPhone 4, an iPhone 5c and an iPhone 5s all with the same results when using the device as the player as opposed to using the Audible app player.
The books in question are 'Rogues' and 'Dangerous women' short story anthologies edited by George R. I cannot recall now if I ran into the same problem with 'Down These Strange Streets' another Martin edited collection that I am pretty sure was longer than the other two and that I seem to recall listening to without the issue.
I also listened to a collection that I cannot recall the editor of called 'Tails of Wonder and Imagination', a science fiction fantasy anthology featuring stories about cats which was a very long collection and a large file without any problem. I've listened to epic fantasy books that run well over a day in playback time with no problem, so I find myself wondering if file size alone is the factor.
I just wanted to reiterate this so that those who haven't experienced this know, that it may just be that they don't have any of the affected titles and that the problem can be repeated on even the newest apple devices.
I don't want to make anyone feel paranoid every time they buy a book, I buy what I want without concern just like I did before, I just don't want anyone else to have an experience with the problem and go through what I did trying to figure out what is going on.
If you run into the problem, you will know it. The book will stop playing at some point in the latter chapters either in a dead stop or in distorted stuttering and eventually it will act as if you had finished the book normally. If you attempt to play any of the chapters after the last one that had any normal play time, the same thing will happen. I am glad that there are options.
I will likely end up figuring out which books in my library are affected and just waiting to get sighted help to download them all in divided form in enhanced format.
Level 4 just sounds too hollow and thin to me. I still hope Apple might decide to fix the issue, but I don't know if they are getting enough complaints for them to feel it worth their while. I have read some complaints on general Apple forums, but since the problem only affects some audiobooks and isn't likely to affect anything other than audiobooks, the volume of complaints is likely to not be that huge. Why not just use the audible app on an iDevice? Sure, it's not the Nano, but if it's a longer book and if it's having these issues, why go to all that trouble when you can just download the books right into the app and listen that way?
I'm listening to The Stand, 47 hours, on my iPad mini in enhanced format. I'm having no issues at all and never have had this issue.
I'm using h the Audible app and don't bother about keeping things locally - that's not really the point of Audible is it. If you use the Audible app as your player, you won't have the problem. The problem for me is that I do indeed keep all of my books locally. First, I have to keep cellular data turned off. I share a 1 Gb data plan with two other people who pay for the data portion of the bill, which I do not.
I can use a bit of data from time to time, but not enough to be streaming media. I prefer the local approach anyway. Audible is horrible for organizing large libraries.
Years ago, I got sick of hunting up which was the next book in a series when audible often failed to note this in a title and went through my entire library, which I have always kept a copy of locally anyway after running into having to have missing books replaced by audible, being cut off from my library during a power blackout years before smart devices and the cloud were the norm and so on, and I edited the metadata on all of the books.
I edited the sort name and sort album lines of all of my albums and now do this after downloading so the books all appear sorted by title for single books and by series and in order within the series for series books. Since I relisten a lot, this is very handy and makes my life a lot easier when loading up an entire series to listen to. Even if I had a decent data plan, I wouldn't do things any differently. I hate boredom and always prefer to be prepared for situations where I am stuck with what I have and nothing else.
Power goes out, cellular networks have outages and slowdowns and so on. If I keep a load of media on my devices, I am set for as long as the batteries hold out whatever the situation. On my iPhone, I have a few movies from the iTunes store, a bunch of Bard library books, and all of my Nook and Kindle books stored on the phone.
If I could do the metadata editing with the ebooks like I do with the Audible books, I would, but even without that benefit, I just prefer to have what I own local. I am more interested in the cloud as backup for my media. It isn't a security thing, I know how secure most cloud services are. It isn't fear of data loss, again I know how good the track record of the industry as a whole is. I think as I have said before that at least some of it comes from having lived a lot of years in a rural location with regular outages and brownouts along with sometimes spotty callular service.
I've experienced being cut off from my data enough times that I just prefer to keep doing things the old fashioned way. This issue only effects a couple of books, and while dealing with redownloading those books will be a pain, once it is done, it is done.
I would just prefer to keep doing things the way I prefer. I can't see me changing my ways anytime soon either. Even when the day comes that my Nano dies and I can no longer get a player with the physical control I prefer, I would really need either unlimited data or a very cheap plan with a good amount of data and even then, I would have to give up my organizational system that makes finding my next book so much easier.
Maybe if I didn't read so much, I might not be so picky, but reading is my main hobby. When I had enough vision to read, I was a speed reader and could go through several books a day if I wasn't too busy that day.
