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 an audible.com file to cd; use iTunes (free, works). Start with the type 4 or enhanced format download for max quality. I burned Fledgling to cd for my wife a few days ago. Not all cd players will recognize a burned cd, but most will (my car, and hers, neither is fancy or new, both read them ok).
On a closely related topic, my local library system has 5 (!) copies of fledgling in book form, but no Lee & Miller audio books. The library said if I bought and donated something they'd be thrilled. Audible, after a go around, says their material is only for personal use, cannot get a copy for a library. And then they said to contact the publisher (which, I would have thought for the recorded copy was them as they did the voice work...but maybe it's still Baen). Anyway, audible said no way to get copy for my library, sadly. Phooey. If there's another way I'd be interested...happy trails.
