As long as you have the hidden Audible activation file on your computer and portable devices, you should be able to play your books.

Re: Converting Audible to MP3 [was "Re: audible"]
I didn't see anything on Audible's purchase conditions about needing to continue to have an active account with Audible. I'm sure the media player needs to check that your license is valid, but I too would be surprised if it's actually checking that you have an active account with Audible. Your Audible ready portable media players are obviously not all going to be able to do this. Your PC, laptop, netbook, ..., may not always have access to the network either. I'd assume you could still listen to your book or other Audible purchase though. You are allowed to make one copy to a CD or other tangible media. You're also encouraged to back your purchases up. The purchase terms also say your license exists as long as you have a copy of the material, although there's some legalese wrapped around this statement. Your purchase terms are at: http://mobile.audible.com/purchTerms.htm On 20/02/12 01:11, Holger Fiallo wrote: > It need to check your acount by using iTunes and audible manager. > -Original Message- From: Peter Scanlon Sent: Monday, February > 20, 2012 1:07 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Converting > Audible to MP3 [was "Re: audible"] > If you have downloaded the player, how can they stop you using it? > > > - Original Message - From: Holger Fiallo > To: PC Audio Discussion List > Sent: Monday, February 20, 2012 5:09 PM > Subject: Re: Converting Audible to MP3 [was "Re: audible"] > > > yes. you can burn them but if you have over 100 books that will be to > much. > You need to be able to subscribe to audible to hear the books.

Depends on where you purchase them from. I'd suggest checking out the terms and conditions of the site where you're purchasing your books, Audible in this case. Does Audible allow you to burn their books to a CD or copy them to an MP3 player? I'm not sure about Audible's terms and conditions or how they enforce their DRM strategy, but I would assume you can still listen to your Audible books even after you leave Audible. You'd still be bound by the terms and conditions that you agreed to when you bought the books though. I'm not exactly sure what you're objecting to though, since I don't see the message you're replying to below. It's been a long time since I've used Audible, and I don't think I have the books I bought from Audbile around any more. I guess I should probably check that Windows system where I put them, but I'm sure those books are up on BARD by now. I've used Overdrive.com though, but that's a bit different. I never purchased a book from Overdrive.com, I was just borrowing them, and I obviously had to agree to get rid of any copies I'd made when the lending period was over.

Gee, I didn't know that. That sucks. I figured once we purchased books, they were ours. What is wrong with that picture? I am not happy about that. -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network. Visit www.serotek.com to learn more about accessibility anywhere.

Re: Converting Audible to MP3 [was "Re: audible"]
I do not want to change it to sale it but for my personal use with any program iTunes is nice but it can be hard. Winamp is much easy for audio books. Again if I stop using audible, I do not think I can not listen to them So I am not purchasing them but renting them. -Original Message- From: Christopher Chaltain Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2012 11:38 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Converting Audible to MP3 [was "Re: audible"] I don't see the message you're referring to, but obviously, once you purchase something you can't do whatever you want with it. I can not buy a CD and then start reproducing it at will to either give it away or to resell. I couldn't do the same thing with a book either. There is the fair use concept in the US legal system, where you're allowed to make backups or copies of a CD, VCR or the like for your own personal use, but Audible is allowed to ask you to waive this right to use their services. Bottom line, regardless of what you think, you are bound by the terms and conditions of the agreements you enter into.

Re: Converting Audible to MP3 [was "Re: audible"]
Agreed. I currently use audible and if in the future I want to stop using their services, I will not be able to read my books. -Original Message- From: kim Kelly Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2012 11:29 PM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Re: Converting Audible to MP3 [was "Re: audible"] There is always someone who has to be a stick in the mud.

Re: Converting Audible to MP3 [was "Re: audible"]
You can burn the audible books to cd or use any number of portable devices or a pc or Mac. But you don't get to get rid of the drm and make them in to a format that you could copy and give away to as many folks as you want. You buy the right to use the material under the restrictions they set forth in their user agreement. By purchasing the material, you agree to live within their rules.

Re: Converting Audible to MP3 [was "Re: audible"]
yes. I purchase them and I find it hard that I can not use winamp. or other programs. If this question is not allow sorry for this. Again it is my money and do not feel that I need to be limited. -Original Message- From: Christopher Chaltain Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2012 10:50 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Converting Audible to MP3 [was "Re: audible"] I assume these are DRM protected correct? If so, I used to use a program called Sound Taxi when I converted DRM WMA books from Overdrive.com. I assume it would work with Audible as well though. It is not a free program though. The original setup required some use of the JAWS cursor, but once it was set up, it was pretty much automatic. If these aren't DRM protected then I used to use a program called Switch from NCH. The free version of this program took care of all of my audio conversion needs.

Re: Converting Audible to MP3 [was "Re: audible"]
It isw worth noting that when you sign on with Audible, you agree not to convert your programs to another format. You might not like the restriction. But they specifically prohibit you from doing that, so doing it and then discussing means of so doing on an public email olist doesn't seem like the smartest idea.
