They used to, but not anymore. Amazon Warehouse exists as a seller for a reason.

Sounds like y’all just don’t have consumer protection laws at all.
Oh dang, you’re right. I used to use StaxRip back when I was doing more encoding and then finish with MKVToolNix, but I think the gui is Windows only.
Probably should have recommended Handbrake.
AAC is higher quality for the same compression level and generally preferred by Apple. MP3 should be fine too though.
EDIT: To be clear though, the programs I listed can handle all kinds of codecs including AAC and MP3. fre:ac is also good for ripping CDs if you’re into that sort of thing.
I’ll have to check it out. If you want to listen to Audiobooks specifically, I will say that the Open Source app BookPlayer has been fantastic for me.
If you really need to convert the files to something like AAC for native iPhone playback, I would suggest either fre:ac (audio only) or MKVToolnix (video and audio).
Installing VLC on your iPhone is probably the easiest solution. It should play the Opus files without any transcoding needed.
No disagreements from me. Enshittification at its finest.

Russia is aware and is trying to get China to restrict exports to Ukraine.
Ukraine fears drone shortages due to China restrictions
And China seems to really like the cheap Russian oil they’re buying these days…
I for one find this to be a cool idea. Reducing the environmental impact of RFID tags seems small, but they are ubiquitous with billions of them produced annually. If this ends up being an economically viable and functional replacement I’m all for it. Less plastic waste and less e-waste is a good thing.
You really should have read the wiki before asking that question. /s
