hi everybody,
i'm looking for a possibility to make podcasts for my xpress music 5800.
but the current version can't be installed coz audiobooks is only for S60 3rd edition.
any suggestions or work arounds?

Sun, 2009-04-12 21:48 Howy: Missing it Really miss it, it will make it easier for me to listen to an audiobook by just compiling it to 1 file.
I have alot of music, so dont want to mix music and audiobook together.

have to fast forward to where you left off so remember and also remember what chapter you were on but at least it does work

Sat, 2009-04-18 15:27 lgkahn: as a further workaround as a further workaround besides being able to play .awb files with the music player ... if you put the book in .mp3 format (i know takes a lot more space) ... on the phone as podcasts insteadof audio books the player knows which chapters have already been played (you can goto first unplayed episode/chapter) and it also remembers where you left off in a particular chapter.. after navigating to the podcast if you instead of openng a particular chapter select goto now playing.. from the menu it will load up the last chapter at the point you left off listening..
note you put the books on the phone in the following directlory structure on your memory card
e:\podcasts\author name\book name\book files.mp3
create the directory structure if it doesnt exist..
finally to open it you dont goto the podcast icon on the phone but the music player .. have it refresh and then open the podcast item in the music player list....
hope this helps

I feel gutted because I sold my N95 to buy the nokia 5800 XM. I keep on searching the beta labs twice a day to see if there is any updates.

I +1 more for this request!
I cannot buy a S50v5 device before Nokia Audiobooks becmes available. Bookmarks, organizer, it may not be perfect but it's damn good and so much better for audiobooks than music player.
What I like most is that it continues from where you left off no matter how you close the program.

PLEASE release this for 5th!
The only mitigating factor is that if I "bookmark" my position in an audio file mentally, I can just point at it when I resume listening. It's better than holding down a fast forward button for a minute and a half, as I sometimes had to on my previous phone.

Fri, 2009-07-10 08:59 ithinkso: Can't buy N97 until Audiobooks runs on it I would very much like to buy the new N97 but I can't do it. The reason is that I am addicted to Audiobooks and can not live without it. During the past year I have spent some 1000 hours with Audiobooks. And I am a busy man with not much free time. Of course I will not carry two phones (my old N95 and the new N97) with me all the time. Because I assume there are other addicts out there in the same situation Nokia is actually loosing money by not releasing a new Audiobooks version with s60v5 support. Please forward this message to the decision makers within Nokia: By upgrading the status of Audiobooks from experimental via a normal beta (with more resources for support) to a real application you will increase the sales of your new and more expensive phones.

MP3 player app is no good for audiobooks. It does not remember the exact position where I left off, no bookmarks etc. And it doesn't support the super efficient compression.
