How to Download Audiobooks to an iPod
iPods can play music and video files, so you can download an audiobook to the device and enjoy it while commuting to work. You will need an application able to handle the transfer. iTunes is both a digital media playback program and applications manager for iPods and iPhones. Once you download and install iTunes, you will be able to copy your audiobook file to the iPod just like a regular audio file. Just remember to make backups of the files you save to your iPod.
