One of Microsoft’s important advocates has confirmed that Audible will be compatible with the Zune very soon.

Paul Thurrott received an email from Jerry D that told him that service will be compatible with the Zune very soon, though no date has been set but has said that they would like it done before the end of this year.

Thurrott has also confirmed it with other sources as well.

Audible is a audiobook store that has compatibility with many MP3 players, notably the iPod. With this new compatibility, this would make the Zune and iPod nearly being similar.
