Thanks Burns,
I am interested in whatever you have to share. The problem is more
than translating wma to mp3 which can be done with a variety of
tools. It's that the wma files are drm protected. So they don't
translate like normal wma files. With total recorder you could play
the file on your pc and record it and then translate to whatever file
format you want but that takes a long time (the length of the book).
I am not familiar with sound taxi, maybe they have a high speed
recording option or something.
I tried a program called Cd Master which claims to be able to
translate protected wma files but it didn't work. Maybe someone else
has experience with this product or any other suggestions for playing
net library files on the bookport. It would be such a great thing to
be able to download these audio books and listen to them on the bookport.
