No problem.  It's tough to get all this technology down.

  Hi, Rich.  I plan to get CDex but was just curious if I could use what I 
already have but I understand now why that wouldn't be feasible.  thanks so 
much for clarifying.

    You cannot convert the files with Roxio.  You need a program that will not 
only extract the files, but convert them.  The Bookport transfer software will 
not do this.   You need a program like CDEX

      So, you extracted the files using Cdex and they became wav files and then 
when you sent them to the bookport, Bookport converted them to MP3 files?  Just 
want to make sure I understand.  I have Roxio so can I use that to extract 
files or is Cdex better.

        Actually, you do need to use a program like CDEx to extract your files 
from 
        CD, but even if they're .wav files, the Book Port automatically 
converts 
        them to .mp3 format upon sending them.  Currently, I have a copy of 
Harry 
        Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in audio loaded on the Book Port, 
and it 
        is using less than 150 megabytes.
