I can recommend itunes newest additon, audible books, having joined audible.com a couple of months ago.
When I joined for $19.95/monthly, I got two books a month. Putting it on my ipod and listening to a little a day, two books lasts me a month. It would be perfect if I could download the books in chapters, but the bookmark feature works nearly as well. And if I can get someone I know to join, I get a free book. I just burn the books to cd for future use, then download a smaller version to load on the ipod.
Switching between music and a talking book while on a long walk is delicious.
But did apple take away some internet radio stations in itunes radio? Seems so.

I'm also an Audible subscriber (1 daily news subscription + one book a month.) I download with Safari, load to iTunes, transfer to iPod, listen.
My question is (since I haven't grabbed the new iTunes): is there any advantage to getting my Audible content directly through iTunes Music Store (other than skipping Safari) rather than directly from Audible? Does iTMS support the monthly subscription discount?

I've wandered around the Itunes audible section, and I can't find a place to subscribe to audible for the lower rates. It would seem only fair if apple would put a notice to mac users to check out the audible.com site to consider saving money by subscribing. Or is that naive of me?
Between Itunes and audible, I could spend every spare cent I have easily. I got rid of my Atari 1040 in 1989 (?) saying computers were silly, no one needed anything more than a typewriter. Now, I think the opposite. Thank you apple.
