Hi listers,
On a French speaking list, someone mentioned she used DBPowerAMP to convert Audible .aa files into MP3 to listen on her 
Notetaker which also has an MP3 player.
I wanted to do the same so I looked it up on the internet. I found the following instructions:

1. Install dbpoweramps DirectShow codec:
http://www.dbpoweramp.com/codecs/dBpowerAMP-codec-DirectShowDecoder.exe

2. Install AudibleManager 4.0 AND Windows Media Player Filter (bottom of download page):

http://www.audible.com/software

3. Set DirectShow to know about Audible file types:

Start >> Programs >> dbpoweramp Music Converter >> Configure DirectShow Decoder

at the end of this text file type (on a new line):

.aa

Save the file (File >> Save)

4. Run dBpowerAMP Configuration:

Start >> Programs >> dBpowerAMP Music Converter >> Configuration >> dMC Configuration

That is it, dbpoweramp can read audible files and Sveta Portable audio can upload Audible files to portables that 
support it.
I tried to follow the instructions as best I could but I think sth is missing in my DbpowerAmp because I don't have a 
configuration option.
Can anyone give me further instructions: With which program Am I to read the Audible files in ohder to convert them to 
MP3?

Thanks anyone for your help!

Séverine

Hi Jody

I use both a Plextor CD Daisy player and a digital audio player.  The
digital player is the Audio Navigator from Audio-Read.  I often copy
audio books I receive on CD to the digital player via the computer.
So you can avoid needing to have a CD player even if the audio books
are supplied on CD. Of course, this only works if the CDs are not copy
protected.

The digital players have the advantage of being smaller and longer
battery life than the CD players.  On the other hand, the Plextor and
Victor Reader CD players have much better speed and pitch control,
navigation controls and sound quality  than the Bookport or Audio
Navigator.  Listening to audio books is an important leisure activity
and information source for me and I find both CD and digital players
are worthwhile.  However, when a better digital player becomes
available I will switch to it.

Apart from the NLS I expect CDs will be the main distribution media
for audio books for several years more.  Distribution via the internet
or flash memory is certainly more efficient but is associated with
copy protection restrictions.
