I often had the situation that I listened to a podcast episode or an audio book and there was something I wanted to remember or capture for later processing. It can be a reference to an interesting other knowledge source, a principle that I want to remember or something I want to share with a colleague or a friend.
When I listen to Podcasts, I am usually not in the situation as in the picture above. I will not be sitting in front of my desk and have a notebook available. I usually listen to podcasts when I am not at my desk.
But how to take a note and easily find the relevant information again in the audio source? Ok, some podcasts have transcripts, that could help to find the relevant information. Others have good show notes. But all of this might only be the second-best option and will not work e.g. with audio books.
To take notes while I listen to podcasts, I use the app Airr Airr - Highlight podcasts. Currently this app is only available for iOS, but there is a waitlist on airr.io, where you can sign up to get notified when the Andorid version is launched.
With this app you can easily create clips of 45 seconds of the current episode you are listening. You can even edit the clip that you take. If you are listening to a podcast in your car using a Bluetooth connection, you can click the previous track button to store a clip. With a headset you can simply triple click the headset button. After you created the clip you can add notes, so you remember later what the content of the clip was. These clips are stored online, and the links including your notes can be easily shared e.g. by mail or directly stored to a OneNote notepad on your smartphone. You can also directly integrate your notes and clips into tools like Readwise or RemNote.
Quite similar as with Podcasts, you can easily create 30 second clips from your audio books within the Audible app. Simply tap the clip button in the player view and add a note if you like. The main disadvantage that I can see, is that you cannot export the notes and clips.
My son uses his Nest Hub 2 to read him audio books when he goes to bed. He told me last night that google has been telling him that this feature will not be available after February!?!?
How is he suppose to have any of the audio books we've bought read to him now??
MattBell and Jtlewis, thanks for reaching out. We appreciate people who are keen on sharing their thoughts with us. We're always looking for ways to improve. I'd suggest you submit feedback about it. See the article below on how to do it.
I'm wondering if it is okay for an employee-- while on the clock-- to listen to audiobooks, podcasts, TV shows (audio only) or other spoken word content while doing their work? We all handle some repetitious work on auto-pilot, like brushing our teeth, or vacuuming, mowing the lawn, or stuffing envelopes. In these cases, I don't consider spoken-word audio a distraction.
But if someone is doing analytical work or drafting a communication, or developing code, I wonder. Is it even possible for us to give our best to the work when part of our attention is captured by the story-line fed into our ear buds?
As well, how do you even know what they are listening to? At my workplace (we use Skype), headphones or earbuds can mean someone is on a call, listening to music, on a telco, listening to a webcast, or maybe listening to white noise or nothing at all while they try to screen out other distractions to focus on something.

I have at least 2 audiobooks that are still sitting in the music app. They don't appear in the Audiobooks section in iTunes (on Mac) or in the iBooks app. Instead they show in the music app & in the music section of iTunes.
I'm assuming this is an error in 12.2, does anyone have a work around until it's fixed? Or a fix? One of the books I can play via the music app in the meantime (that's the one that shows in "music" in iTunes & in the music app. The other (iTunes purchased) is showing in "books" in iTunes but doesn't show in the iBooks app & shows just one chapter in the music app (which it shows duplicated - so 2x the one chapter).
My "fix" is to click on one of the files in iTunes and then open "info" and then **MANUALLY** set the Music file to audiobook and then click on the arrow at the bottom left and REPEAT for EACH and EVERY ever loving file!! YES I am frustrated!! TWO HOURS later I have all the audio book files that I ripped from my 11 CD book now set to audiobook.
The files were stored as M4A & not M4B. Uncertain why the file extension changed (& why it wasn't possible to alter it within the "media kind" field) but hopefully changing it back resolves the problem.
I have found that I can use AudioBookBinder, a free app in the Mac App Store, to select the MP3 files of a book (and graphic) and import them directly into the iTunes 12 AudioBook section. It has fewer steps then the way I use to be able to do it in iTunes.
While I understand some readers preference for print, I think there are just as many, or almost as many, who prefer audiobooks. I like them because I can be productive with everyday tasks while enjoying a good book. And The Levee is a great, well-read, audiobook. The length is perfect.
I love audiobooks. I listen to them as I walk, drive, cook. I also read my own audiobooks. Thank you for your excellent description of oral storytelling. There is a place for print books and audiobooks and each of us can decide which book to appreciate in which form.
Overdrive audio book chapters are playing out of order on my Sansa Sport Go. I have been using the Sport Go to play Overdrive audio books without issue for over a year. This problem started only in the last week.
Note: Overdrive is an app used by public libraries in the U.S. The app is on my laptop. After I download an audio book from the library using Overdrive, I can use Overdrive to copy the audio book to Overdrive supported devices.
The Overdrive audio books play correctly on other devices Overdrive supports: an old Sansa M300, a kindle fire, an android phone, and a Windows 10 laptop. Therefore I have concluded the problem lies with the Sansa Sport Go and not with Overdrive.
In an attempt to solve the problem, I did a full format on the Clip Go (through Windows) and downloaded and installed the appropriate version (1.04) update. Copied a few Overdrive audio books to the Clip Go. Result: chapters are still played out of order.
Anyone know the max character length of a chapter title the Sport Go can handle, and if special characters like an apostrophe break it? Really do not want to edit the chapter titles of every book. Especially when my ancient Sansa M300 handles the same Overdrive audio books just fine.
nalaxu, my problem was exactly the same as yours, including the jumping all over the place when I tried to advance to the next chapter. The sandisk jumps all over because every chapter looks the same to it because it is not getting complete chapter title info.
My son is obsessed with audio books, which is great, but limiting time he spends on other activities. However when he uses his audio book app (Storytel) with the screen off, his screen time is not registered in Kapersky. Can anybody confirm this? Am I missing something?
Android version. The app is running, limits have not expired. He only listens to the audio, so after a few minutes the screen turns off. I tested it today: despite Storytel running for over 30 minutes (screen off, only audio), only 1 minute is registered as device usage.
Note, you will need to create your own cover art! I also create mine at this stage, prior to beginning the upload process. I like to make my cover art both on canva or on an app called word swag. I make it in a square shape and I tend to make two versions, one for the kindle and one for ACX. I love creating content for social media, so I actually find this step fun. You can be creative and really make this your own. Again, this is another way that differentiates your public domain version, so you might as well make it something that stands out to you. I very much enjoyed having a chance to create the two that I worked on this month.
Well, it turns out sometimes there are some snags in the road of public domain audio books! When choosing your book, if possible, try to also look for a book that has not been done or has not been done often. I was approached in March at the APAC conference by fellow voice actor, audiobook narrator, and industry friend Steve Corona and he shared with me that he had done a public domain book recently. Steve spent a good bit of time on this project, as these manuscripts can be quite long, and he was prevented from posting it as Audible said there were already too many titles like his in existence. Steve and I got together to discuss this and you can find our chat here.
