The Bose SoundTouch series of speakers is known for its high-fidelity sound quality and multi-room wireless playback. However, if you want to play Audible audiobooks directly, especially without Bluetooth, you might find it challenging. This is because Audible audiobooks are in the DRM-protected AA/AAX format, and the SoundTouch only supports common DRM-free formats (MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, etc.). This guide will explain how to play Audible audiobooks on a SoundTouch without relying on Bluetooth.
