audio book providers’”like online music providers’”have turned to Digital Rights
Management (DRM) copy protection formats to defend against copyright
infringement. New DRM formats now exist for audiobooks’”formats which, like their
musical cousins, often result in playback limitations for legitimate

iTunes now makes around 10,000 audiobooks protected with their proprietary M4B
DRM format available online. Audible, a provider of audiobooks in multiple
languages uses the proprietary AA DRM format. Audible also provides owners of
higher-priced mobile players with device-specific software to help reduce
incompatibility problems, but end users must still download the correct quality
level for their player.

typical, non-expert user with a mid-level quality MP3 player or MP3-capable
mobile telephone has a good chance of walking away from the Apple and Audible
services with empty hands. A standardization of DRM formats and adherence to
such standards by all playback media is unfortunately not in sight.
