I’m sorry to hear you had such a disappointing first experience with Audiofy/iofy chips.

I actually work at iofy (formerly Audiofy) as the Director of Information. I’d like to pass along some info that might be helpful.

If you’d like to keep your Pimsleur tracks on your iPod while you add more music, you can select “Manually manage music” under Options on the Summary tab for your iPod in iTunes. With this checked, your language lessons won’t be deleted with the next sync.

We do support some mobile phones. If you can let me know which make and model you have, I would be happy to see if we currently support it (or if we can in the future).

There are a few different ways that you can share the same course between two different people. Shoot me an e-mail at sfox@iofy.com and we can talk about what your options are (depending on your computer setup).

The audiobook DRM landscape, for a number of reasons, is different than the one for music. However, we are working on ways to make DRM-free chips and downloads a viable option for spoken word publishers.

If, in the end, you’ve decided that the iofy chips aren’t for you, I can absolutely understand. Let me know, and I’ll make sure you’re sent a RMA and return mailer so you can get a full refund.
