Best way to listen to BP audiobooks?

Hey everyone,

I am having a hard time finding a good way to listen to the BP audiobooks that come in the Ultimate Packages on my iPhone while commuting in my car. Usually, I listen to my audiobooks through the Audible app, but since the BP audiobooks from the Ultimate Packages just come as a downloadable audio file, that isn't possible. I can open the file on my phone and play it, but it doesn't remember where I left off the next time I get in my car, which means I have to try and remember - and I never can.

Has anyone else run into this issue and found a solution? If so, what do you all do? 

Robert

Hey all! @Robert Leonard @Joseph Holliway

You can download audiobooks via media library (like iTunes). More detailed instructions are as follows:

Instructions for iPhone

1. Download audiobook mp3 files to a desktop or laptop computer.

2. Make sure that iTunes is downloaded to both your computer and your mobile device. When you click the mp3 files on your computer, they should automatically open to iTunes. If not, right-click and select “Open With” > iTunes.

3. Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable or Wi-Fi.

4. iTunes should automatically prompt you to sync. If not, you can sync manually by selecting File > Devices > Sync.

Instructions for Andriod

1. Download audiobook mp3 files to a desktop or laptop computer.

2. If your phone screen is locked, unlock your screen.

3. Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable.

4. If on Windows, locate mp3 files on your computer and drag them into your device's Music folder.

5. If on Mac, download and install Android File Transfer. Locate mp3 files on your computer and drag them into your device's Music folder in Android File Transfer.

We understand that this is a lot of work, so we are currently working on an audiobook fix that should be released soon! Here's a sneak peek, as implemented with the new BRRRR audiobook:

There will be an on-site audio player for all purchased audiobooks, found on the same page as your other bonus content. This player will work on desktop as well as the mobile version of the website.

The audiobook player will be released as soon as possible for all books. I hope this helps!
