Subject: Converting Audible files to MP3 [was Re: Audiobook Builder
questions.]
Hello All,
I seem to have missed the question Arthur is replying to about directly
converting Audible files to MP3s. However, if you want to do this you can
try a program called Macsome Audiobook Converter from:
http://www.macsome.com
This is not a freeware program; it costs $34.95. They now have a Windows
version of their program in addition to their Mac version, although I
think Windows users have been able to use a program called SoundTaxi.
Note that you must be able to legally play your Audible files in iTunes in
order to use this software; it saves you from going through the steps of
writing out to CD and ripping back to MP3. I haven't used this program
myself, although I know others have.
This subject is different from Jim's original questions about Audiobook
Builder, which I believe he is using to construct single, chapterized
audiobooks from either MP3 files or from audiobook CDs without DRM.
Accordingly, I've changed the subject line.
I'll also point out that the Macsome site has some free audio tools such
as AudioSplitter and AudioEditor. I picked up the reference to this site
in a post Rossy made a couple of years ago about using audio editing tools
to extend the scripts that the Italian VoiceOver user group created for
text to speech audio files. For more information on those, see the
English version of their script pages at:

HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Hi Tony,
I don't know of a converter that can convert file from Audible.com
The only way that I know of doing it, is to burn it to a CD, and then rip
it
from there to MP3.
