I just managed to get this installed and running on my Nokia N75. I'm on a Mac, and manually transferred a sample audiobook's components (which are AWB files in AMR-WB format, downloaded from Nokia's Beta page) via the Mac's "Bluetooth File Exchange" app with no problems. HOWEVER now I am unable to locate any Mac apps which can convert other standard MP3 audiobook files into the AMR-WB format (file extension .awb). There appear to be zillions for Windows of course.
It is possible to dowload AMR-WB command line encoder ansi-c source from 3GPP web site and compile it and use that for AMR-WB file generation. It is pretty good ansi-c, so the encoder should be easy to compile for Mac. Book Index file can be generated with any unicode text editor, but certainly this is a bit difficult path for most of the users. I can give more detailed instructions, if there are real interest for that path. We are sorry for missing Mac support but hopefully we can do something for that area in future, can not yet promise anything because we do not have Mac user in our audiobook dev team.
“At a glance -- particularly as a non-Storm user -- you might say "wait a second, that's just a Storm." And in reality, you wouldn't be far off with that assessment.”
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
