Введение
За последние десятилетия разработано множество форматов аудиофайлов для аудиокниг. История аудиокниг начинается с XIX века, когда в 1877 году, Томас Эдисон, представил свой фонограф, при этом, рекомендуя использовать его и в создании аудиокниг для слабовидящих людей. Позже появились грампластинки с аудиокнигами. С начала 1970-х, на рынке появились аудиокассеты и некоторые библиотеки стали распространять записанные на них аудиокниги. Книги можно было прослушивать при помощи портативных плееров, магнитол в автомобилях.
С развитием компьютеров и Интернета, стали создаваться сжатые аудио-форматы и программы для прослушивания аудиофайлов, т.е. цифровые медиа-плееры.
На этой странице мы собрали информацию об аудиофайлах, о компьютерных программах для их прослушивания и о компаниях, создавших аудио-форматы.
