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.
