Haven't seen the rest of this thread so I don't know what the original question was. But it looks like you're trying to convert Audible books to a format playable on players that you don't have to register with Audible or via iTunes. If so, get hold of Sound Taxi from soundtaxi.info which will strip out the DRM and can convert to a range of formats playable on mp3 players and ones that play Windows Media too. It's accessible - with Jaws anyway. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andy Collins Sent: 14 February 2008 22:17 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Converting Audible Books Hi Pele If you play it in Winamp, and use alt 3 you will be in the id tag screen, and if you arrow up to the top, and come down, it will report the bit rate and tell you if it's VBR.
