The AudiblePlayer for Windows Mobile lets you listen to pre-recorded audio books, time-shifted radio programs, audio magazines and newspapers as well as a whole variety of other spoken word audio programs on your PAC Mate Omni.
Ensure that ActiveSync is installed on your desktop computer, and that the PAC Mate Omni is connected to your computer with either a standard or guest partnership. On your PC, go to www.audible.com and select the Member Login link to login or sign up. Then download the AudiblePlayer software for Windows Mobile. Once installed, you find AudiblePlayer in the Programs submenu (F4, p).
Note: AudiblePlayer automatically installs an additional application called AudibleAir, which also appears in the Programs submenu. This program is not supported by the PAC Mate Omni. Make sure you select AudiblePlayer when starting the program.
