["Andy Collins" <Andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Anna - According to that article I posted about the new Shuffle, it 
claims that it will play formats 2-4 Audible content.
Anna, I'm not sure which version I bought of Anapod explorer, if it was just 
for the Shuffle, or for all Ipods, Is there a way of checking? In the menus 
for Redchair, I have Anapod Shuffler, so I imagine that's the version of the 
software I've bought, but don't know for sure!
