Honestly audible are terribles. They are constantly doing things that annoy me, like they must have a team somewhere that spends its days going, how can we kill this golden goose?
They are going through and replacing audiobooks recorded in the 1980s with new ones which in theory should improve their quality but they're getting rid of the classic sounds of those books.
I wouldn't put it past Bezos to have an actual enshittification department.
