AKiCiF: Audiobooks

[rolanni]

I've gotten a note from a long-time reader, who says that they "bought something" from Audible, expecting that they would get discs, which they could use in a CD/DVD player, and was disappointed to find that they had to listen at the desktop.

So the question for the assembled multitudes is:  Is there a way to copy the Audible book to (I assume) many discs?  And, if so, would you lay out the steps here so this reader can follow them?

Many Spanish Aunts.

cd's from audible audiobooks

yes, you can burn cds from audible digital downloads. Use the better format (type 4 or enhanced). Only a few s/w tools can do it (some versions of nero, not mine, and iTunes). I burned Fledgling to cd for my wife this week, as she drives a lot. Easy, writeable cd's are cheap in bulk ($0.14).
A related problem is how to get my library a copy. The local library system has (to my amazement) 5 copies of Fledgling in h/c. No audio books from L&M. After a promising start Audible was spectacularly unhelpful; "only for personal use. Contact the publisher". AFAIK audible.com *is* the publisher of the audio version, as they recorded it, right? Anyway, stymied on how to get my local library a copy of some of your work. Was going to buy and donate, but no joy. Phooey.
