Cheers Brian, done all this but how do I check that the file is reported
as
a protected file before putting it on the iPod? I tried the 'get info'
option' but its obviously not that...

Hi Sunil
Did you know you can also make MP3 files bookmarkable within iTunes?
Here's
how.
1. Import the MP3 into iTunes.
2. Select it and choose Convert to AAC.
3. Find the file with Windows Explorer. It should be in
My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Unknown Artist\Unknown Album
4. Change the extension from m4a to m4b.
5. Import this renamed file into iTunes. The resulting file is
bookmarkable.
At this point, you have three files with the same name in iTunes. They
are
sorted with the most recent file
last, which is the one you want. Check the File Info option to make
sure
the file is reported as a protected file. Then import it into your
iPod.

I've been looking at some iRiver forums where posters have been
speculating
that the next version of the iRiver firmware will enable you to listen
to
Audible content on the player.
I'm persisting with the iPod Shuffle because it came free when I
signed up to Audible and when it works properly, provides a great way
of carrying hours of books around easily. In theory, its easy to
upload and delete content from it, and it's a neat unit.
The iRiver is number one though, because you can store so much on it.
When you're able to listen to Audible books on it it will be even
better. Even when that happens though I suspect that you'll be unable
to take advantage of what I'm sure is an iTunes feature, the ability
for the player to remember where you're up to so you can listen to a
bit, listen to a few albums or whatever and then skip back to the
place you were up to in the Audible book without having to find it
again from the beginning of the file.

hi Sunil
I Bought an IRiver and then thought I would try audible. It never
occurred
to me that the books would not play on it as I wrongly assumed they
were
in
MP3
format. Fortunately, I did not sign up for a plan so have decided to
do
without audible books for the present. I was also disappointed that I
could
not copy
books onto CDs in MP3 format to get lots of information on one disk.
I have two books from their free trial, but will not be getting any
more
at
the moment.
I am unwilling to get involved with Itunes, as I can do most things
with other software and have more control.
