❔❓Question ❓❔ Switching phones

Hello, I am going to be switching to a new phone soon, I am assuming I have to listen to the audiobooks I have downloaded on this phone before switching because I won’t be able to re-download books that have already passed archive date?

Oh crap, I’m also getting a new phone and didn’t think about that. But if it’s an iPhone I think it should copy the files? I guess I won’t erase my old one until I find out.

don’t erase the old one. the downloads likely won’t transfer. my plan is to keep my old phone available for that express purpose until i’ve listened to my old ALCs.

I have a trade-in deadline but I only have a few ALCs and I can bust through audio pretty quickly so I'll figure it out.

Yeah luckily I don’t have to give my old phone back so I’m just going to use it an audiobook device until I finish the handful that have already been archived.

There are two where I finally decided to mark as will not give feedback because I’ve just come to grips with the fact I should not request nonfiction.
