Nice finding in one of my old iTunes account I was about to delete: a bunch of audiobooks, including *The Martian Chronicles* read by Bradbury himself.<\/p>\n
Random House produced it, and it\u2019s from Audible.com. I could not find much else about it, besides [this webpage](https:\/\/www.learnoutloud.com\/Catalog\/Literature\/Contemporary-Literature\/The-Martian-Chronicles\/2292). If by any chance you have more info, [contact me](https:\/\/mobile.twitter.com\/david_bosman).<\/p>\n
What bugs me is that I can\u2019t find any trace of this book, or the other that were waiting for me in this old iTunes account, anywhere in my Audible Library. That\u2019s odd, because many of the audiobooks I\u2019ve purchased along the years on Audible have since then been removed from the shop, but all are still available in my Library for download.<\/p>\n
Is it possible I had purchased these directly through iTunes, hence them being backed up by Apple but not appearing in my Audible account? Whatever, I\u2019m glad I found them, this one in particular, *and* I\u2019m glad Apple is so much more reliable than me regarding backups.<\/p>\n
Having been an Audible customer since around 2001, it means these books might be 17 years old? No way, I can\u2019t be that old \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
Maybe I should look for some way to strip the files from their DRM, even if it\u2019s not planned anymore to close this account. And seeing how Apple has preserved them for me\u2013despite my own carelessness\u2013it\u2019s not like there is any urgency in backing them up either.<\/p>\n
So, if you\u2019ll excuse me, I think Ray\u2019s been waiting long enough to tell me his next Martian chronicle \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
