I know *nothing* about any Apple products, however...

Files you'll find here fall into two main categories:  A) MP3 files are the
main bulk and the audiobook itself.  "Play" the book much as you would any MP3
music file.  B) PAR files - these perform tests upon the downloaded MP3 files
and check them for completeness, that is that they are error free from the
download process.  Windows uses Quick Par, I'm sure Google will point you to a
Apple equivelent.

That should allow you to get started.  Perhaps a more Apple knowledgeable
person can give you more specifics.

Enjoy, Freddie
