Andrew, I have likewise been disappointed by the quality of Audible files. Many say it is fine, but quality is in the ear of the listener. I do find that after a while I get used to the scratchy, compressed sound and, if the book is good, I can sit back and enjoy.

However I was led to believe that the sound quality on the format 4 files was excelent, practically CD quality! The files I'm downloading are certainly not of that high standard. I was wondering whether anyone else is finding this and what the reason might be. I have to say I am disappointed in the sound quality I am getting. All the best, Andrew
