Hi Bob:
Yes, just open audible manager, and connect Icon in disk drive mode. Run the
auto catalog update, and it should import all of your audible books. Then,
open one of the bookshelf views to find them and press select to play them.

Hi Jenny,
Let me try to keep it simple. I am on Icon and want to access the audible
books i have downloaded to my computer housed in audible manager. How do i do
this with icon? Do i just connect disk drive and go into audible manager on
the computer? How do i updage my bookshelf catalog? Right now, I have 370
books from bookshare etc I found judge and jury and entered and it was an
audible book. Hope this clears matters.
Bob .

I think i'm confused. You only have to activate once. You do this
through your computer, not through Icon. Your Icon has to be connected to the
computer through disk Drive Mode, and your computer has to have an active
internet connection. And, I can't tell you how to download directly from the
Audible website to Icon anyway, because you can't do it. You have to go
through the Audible Manager, or you can move files manually, but let's stick
with Audible Manager.
Tell me what you did with your books exactly. I think I'm confused about
your process and what you want to know. Are you wanting to access your Audible
content on your computer again, or are you wanting to get at it from Icon now
that you've transferred it? If you want to get to it on Icon, start the
Bookshelf and update your book catalog. Your Audible titles appear in your
booklists right along with your Bookshare and NLS content.

Hi Jenny,
I have downloaded several audible books to my bookshelf. Now, to get to
library on audible manager again do i have to activate using the steps you gave
me or can i find audible manager another way. I am not even going to ask you
how to download an audible book i buy from the web site directly into the Icon.
I am contentto download using my computer to audio manager then bringing some
of them down to Icon.
Again, before I confuse you totally. How can i get to audible manager
library? Thank you so much for your patience. you are a great teacher.
I hope you guys were okay with the terrible floods which ravaged iowa.
My wife's home town Decorah, in northeastern Iowa barely made it thanks to a
levy which was built during the New Deal era.

The audible package being referred to here is a package containing
sample audible content, and a link for new users to sign up and get a free
trial. If you are already a member of Audible, go to Audible Manager. press
Alt + D to get to the Devices Menu, and choose "Add New Device". You are taken
to an Audible download page with plugins for various devices. Arrow down to
LevelStar Devices and press the Space bar to check it. then Tab to the OK
Button and Select it. Once this is done, place your Icon in Disk Drive Mode,
Audible Manager should see it. Tab to the Mobile Devices view, and press the
Applications key. Choose Activate. You'll be asked for your Audible Username
and password. Tab to OK, and Select it to activate your device. When the
activation is complete, you are placed back in the Library view from which you
can choose items to add to the Icon.
Hope that helps,
Jenny

Hi Larry,
I found no audible package. I am sure that it is my fault here.
What are the steps to get audible.com? I have been a member for years.

Hi Jenny. I went to "check for updates" in audible manager help
and was told my audible manager was up-to-date. There was no audible or
levelstar plug-in available.

Your audible Manager might need to be updated. Go to the Help
Menu, and do a Check for Updates. Then try it again. It should actually take
you to a website where you can select the plugin to install, and LevelStar
devices should be there, at least it was when I tried it this morning.

I went to the add device menu and checked the list in Audible
manager as per the help instructions and there is no levelstar or braille plus
device. Any help would be appreciated.
