Muttichen Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Has anyone downloaded mp3s from Europe recently? Last summer I downloaded an audiobook for my kids and it was wonderful -- 5 euros, no postage, we had it in ten minutes. I was so excited! Now, amazon.de and itunes won't let me download mp3s because of geographical restrictions. Has anyone else run into this? Do you know any sites where you can legally purchase and download European audiobooks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lune Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I am having the same problem with amazon.fr :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I joined audible.de a month ago. I've only run into one title that had geographical restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Great White North Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I think it has to do with the distribution agreements with producers. I had no trouble downloading a Teaching Company audio while in Europe recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4KookieKids Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Are you all still having this problem? Did it resolve on its own, or did you have to do something "tricky" to get around it? I'm thinking about audible.de but am not sure if we might have issues downloading... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffe Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I don't have issues with Teaching Company or Audible, but I do have issues with Amazon US. I run a VPN to get around it, maybe you can find one for your target country/region? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef03 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I am having the same problem with amazon.fr :( Wow this thread is old but since it's been bumped here's for future refence: I'm not sure about full audiobooks but for those seeking foreign music/stories on MP3s: I've noticed in the past that when I wanted to purchase a French MP3 on amazon.fr (ie: the kids love Henri Dès), I was able to search for the title on amazon.com and purchase it directly from there even though they're in French. So it's worth checking amazon.com (if you live in the US) for foreign MP3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
