Free fiction: METAtropolis audio anthology (conditions apply!)

Audible is apparently offering it as a free download here, if you can figure out how to download from their page (I cannot)!

There is a sample that can be played & starts some audio. There is an "Add to cart" button that adds it for $0.00. I suppose you need to go through their regular checkout process to do the download - I'm not too keen on this dance. Scalzi mentions registration is required - I guess that might be with reference to this check out process.

This anthology is a Hugo 2009 nominee in "Dramatic Presentation, Long Form" category.

PS: I have an impression Audible audiobooks are DRMed & require some sort of proprietary player - not sure.
