Hi Mobeen,

I see Martin has answered your question about accessing your previously 
purchased Audible titles.

If you are still looking for an alternative, you could check out the selection 
of audio books available on iTunes.

Cheers,

Ed

Hello Everyone.

I have been a member of audible for many years now. when i was on XP, i used to 
convert my audible books to MP3 to listen on my MP3 player. this has worked 
very well if i didn't have an audible device to hand and i wanted to listen to 
an audio book. however, ever since they got taken over by amazon and usernames 
and passwords changed, i can no longer access my history for all the titles i 
have spent the last 6 years pourchasing from them, and even if i could i can't 
convert the books as i am primarily using windows7 and linux. in short, does 
anyone have any other source of downloadable audio books? i don't mind paying 
as long as there is a decent selection hopefully comparable to audibles. 
audiogo was an excellent site but they've now gone in to administration. i just 
wish audible weren't so iffy and that they hadn't deleted every book i'd ever 
bought from them without my consent... the only thing that will make me stay 
with them is if i can convert books using windows7 as
  and when i need to. as i'm paying for a book i should be able to if i don't 
want to take a kindle to listen to books and just want to carry a small 
discreet mp3 player. from what i've read this can't be done, but any comments 
welcome on or off list.
many thanks in advance,

Mo.
