Re: Audible books, can I listen to them/transfer them?
You can authorize the computer through itunes, the problem is authorizing the stream. On Jun 13, 2010, at 10:43 PM, Olivia Norman wrote: Thanks so much!

Re: Audible books, can I listen to them/transfer them?
Of course, you can listen to Audible content on the Mac in iTunes, on your iPod, and most likely on your iPhone, etc. I can't swear on a stack of bibles, but I'm pretty sure all Apple devices are Audible ready. You can always subscribe to audible, listen on your Apple product, and when you find a friend with Windows, activate your Stream. I think it's a good idea for us to contact Humanware and Audible to ask how to activate the Stream using a Mac. We all know it can't be done yet, but both companies are more likely to put a wiggle in it if they get lots of inquiries, rather than one or two. I've been an Audible subscriber for about six years. My experience has been that audible tends to respond sooner rather than later. If they notice lots of inquiries about something, they start tracking the number of inquiries on the subject and are more likely to respond if the numbers are up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Audible books, can I listen to them/transfer them?
I am not a audible subscriber. Can you burn the audible to a CD disk? If you can then rip the CD to mp3. Just a thought.

Re: Audible books, can I listen to them/transfer them?
I'm kind of wondering the same thing. I've got an iPad, and am just wondering if the stream's worth the investment. I'm concerned about it's lack of compatibility with macs, for things like authorizing audible. So, what can the stream do taht an iPad or iPod can't besides playing daisy books?

While it offers easy accessibility for Blind users, I too found I was concerned about full compatibility to my Macbook Pro. I thought about what the device can do, and think that, again, an Ipod touch could do just as much, if not more. That was even before eBooks were available for it. YMMV, and now, btw I'm actually thinking about the iPad. On Jun 13, 2010, at 10:43 PM, Olivia Norman wrote: Thanks so much!
