Re: Decoding Audible files
To all concerned, I have sad news. Richard passed on December 12, 2009 of a heart attack. Some may know already, however, I'm sending this information to all of Richards email contacts. It was so sudden with no warning. I know Richard receives many emails each day and I want to inform all those who contacted him.

Re: Decoding Audible files
I have SoundTaxi Pro plus Video Rip which of course I purchased. I keep hearing from people who tell me what SoundTaxi can do ... but haven't actually done it themselves. I would like to hear from someone who has actually decoded Audible files with SoundTaxi ... you know, the program that decodes at up to 50x?
