Clipper and Playaway in partnership

Playaway, the world's first pre-loaded digital audiobook, has proven enormously popular with listeners, and is already an established product in libraries across the UK. The versatility and simplicity of the format have been key factors in this growing popularity.

But without great titles, Playaway would be simply another audio player. Clipper Audio's range of bestselling unabridged audio titles is the vital link which makes Playaway come alive. An unrivalled title list and cutting edge technology.

Playaway is lightweight, compact, and very easy to use - simply plug in the earphones and press play. That's all you need to do to start enjoying the clear, crisp sound of a Clipper Audio title. Let's take a look... Playaway Player
