If you already do have Gold Wave, it will do all these thigns for you
without needing to get another program.

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 ----- Original Message ----- From: Margo To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2005 7:43 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: audiobooks
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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Toews" <water_drinker@xxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2005 1:31 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: audiobooks
