There are many many players that support only one or two of the audible =
formats. We chose to focus our efforts on the highest quality setting =
thinking that our users would not put up with the lower quality settings. =
Given the fact that the device supports removable media a very slick =
interface for sending only part of a file, and, as of today, time =
compression and pause removal to help reduce the size for those that want =
it, this seemed like a sound decision. I did not realize there were so =
many files not available in type 4 format. Does anyone have any numbers =
or titles that are not available in this format?

How did it come to be that only format 4 could be downloaded?
