Converting Audible to MP3 [was "Re: audible"]

2012-02-19 Thread Christopher Chaltain
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.

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.

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.

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.

I do not want to change it to sale it but for my personal use with any

books. Again if I stop using audible, I do not think I can not listen to

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.

2012-02-19 Thread Christopher Chaltain
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

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. I am 
here in Chicago and I think it is the same allover the great USA.

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.

I figured once we purchased books, they were ours.
What is wrong with that picture?
I am not happy about that.

As long as you have the hidden Audible activation file on your computer and 
portable devices, you should be able to play your books.  I keep a copy of 
mine from the BookSense in case it gets destroyed during an update.


If you really want to know about your rights to access your books after 
terminating your subscription, you could ask their customer service.

Holger,
I called Audible Customer Service this morning and posed the question about 
access to my books after termination of membership.  The lady assured me 
that I would continue to have access to my books both on my computers and 
portable devices.  I would also be able to access My Library on AUDIBLE.COM. 
Finally, I would be able to activate new devices, provided I did not go 
beyond the limits they set.  If one of my devices was no longer in 
operation, I would be able to call them and get my device limit reset.


This information should reassure you and other subscribers that access to 
Audible books is not lost when membership is terminated.

To further what gary has told you, I've not been a member of Audible since 
2006, and I still have access to all the material that I purchased prior to 
leaving, and any time I've contacted customer service, they've still assisted 
me with no reservations. 

Warm Regards:
Matt Diemert

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.
