Can you download to a Samsung galaxy phone? The only download options seem to be windows or apple.
Sure, you can use Tunelf Audio Converter to convert Audible books to those plain audio format files, then transfer them to your Galaxy phone for keeping forever.
Does the Galaxy watch 4 app keep my place in the book or do I have to cut the book onto listening chapters before loading the book into the watch?
You could divide the book into listening chapters if you want to listen by chapter before putting the book into the watch. 🙂
Hi, I’m looking to get the galaxy smart watch and being able to play audible was a concern of mine.
Having read your article on how you can get around the lack of audible app, i was wondering if you could confirm whether or not you’d have to have two copies of a downloaded audio book on your phone at one time?
If you need to convert your audio book into an MP3 and then sync it from your phone to your watch, will you be left with one copy downloaded on audible and another copy downloaded as an MP3? As this I would presume would take up a lot of space on my phone.
Thanks for any help.
Steve
After you sync those Audible MP3 files to your watch, you can delete them on your phone. Because the Samsung watch allows you to store local files. 🙂
