Upgrade Audible Support to include new Enhanced Format (.aax)

[Nelbert]

I'd like to request the Audible supported format to be upgraded or extended so it supports the new Enhanced Format as well as the Current Format 4.

As most of my Audiobooks are Dramatisations or Live Shows the CD equivalent quality of the new enhanced format is of great interest. Especially as the current format 4 encoding can sound too compressed.

I understand that it is a container which deliveres the audio via AAC and can also deliver images during playback (Which probably isn't needed on Sonos.)

Many thanks

Add me to this list. I downloaded some Audible content today and because its in aax format I could not index it on Sonos.

Well, I was hoping we would see support for Audible's enhanced format, but no luck.

I wish I could understand what's the issue. Is this a problem with Audible, is it a prioritization issue with Sonos, etc.

Is it even reasonable for me to expect this feature? I just want to manage my expectations and know who if anyone is blocking this from happening.

I would also like to see Audible support improve. Specifically, I would like to see support for all Audible formats, streaming the audio directly from my Audible accounts (i.e. no PC required), and properly "resume" audiobooks.
