Rich: I have a hunch, and it's just that, that to load the book onto the VRS, using the Mac, you might want to use the Audible Manager software. That will allow you to authorize and activate the stream, and to manage where the book goes.
I haven't actually done this. But, I ran across some difficulty linking Audible, the Mac and the VRS. And, I believe the Audible Download Manager could well be the solution. Let us know how you resolve it.

In other words, if you download an audible book using the Mac, will the resulting files only play using iTunes? ----- Original Message ----- From: "RATTRAY J." <julie.ratt...@durham.ac.uk> To: <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 7:20 AM Subject: RE: Audible.com Experience Hi, I am really confused by this - I use audible all the time with the Mac and have not had the problem you are describing. Generally you don't need to install any softwere to get audible to work with the Mac - you do with Windows but not Mac. The only thing I can suggest you try is going to your download preferences and seeing what they look like. I typically have my stuff download directly into itunes so I can put them on my ipod - I seem to remember that back in the day when I set it up that I had to tell it that I wanted it to do this so perhaps download preferences - found in the my acccount pages might be the best place to start. If you don't have any luck let me know and maybe I can suggest something else. Good luck Julie -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Rich Ring Sent: 11 May 2010 13:15 To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Audible.com Experience Hello all: I recently bought an Audible book using the Mac. Imagine my surprise when I clicked the purchase button, the book immediately started downloading. I thought, this is excellent. However, when the four parts of the title had finished downloading, and I managed to copy them to a thumb drive, I discovered that the file extensions were not correct. I then discovered that I couldn't play the files on my Stream. There must be something I'm missing here. Should I have installed the Audible Manager software before doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
