Call my title a tad-bit deceiving, but it is true. Apple is telling iPod owners not to buy audiobooks from the iTunes Music Store. The reason? A glitch in audiobooks being sold on iTMS is not letting files playback on an iPod. They work fine in iTunes, but throw them on your iPod and no dice.

Apple is currently refunding anyone who purchased an audiobook and is telling customers to relax while it fixes the issue. Perhaps Apple should get on top of this problem, because if they don’t, I’d reckon that Audible.com will start getting a lot more customers each day this bug is in effect.
