Hi Sharon.

What a stroke of luck and good guesswork on my part *smile*.  I should tell you 
now that converting audible books is done in real-time, so it will take as long 
as the audio book lasts to do the conversion.  You can tell when its working 
away because ITunes will be on the task bar along with sound taxi, so when you 
notice that ITunes has disappeared you can safely assume that the book has been 
successfully converted.

All the best of luck and happy converting.

Take care, Ibrahim.

  Hi,

   

  I was using an audible book, didn't like to say on the list, smiles.

   

  I think I may have found out what to do now, and have I hope done what I 
wanted to do.  My next problem was I couldn't find the converted file, but have 
now managed to locate it.

   

  I'm sending it to my friend and then hopefully I'll work out if I've 
completed the conversion correctly.

   

  Many thanks for your assistance though, 

   

  Sharon

  Hi Sharon.

   

  OK, when you attempt to open the file in Sound Taxi, what message are you 
getting?  You'll need to use the jaws cursor to find this information out.  I'm 
making a wild guess here, but a problem I experienced recently when trying to 
convert a DRM protected audible book was that I needed ITunes to do said 
conversion even though I could play the audio book fine in windows media player 
having activated my pc.  If I'm making the wrong assumption as to where the 
protected file is coming from then this might not apply to you, but its worth 
installing ITunes even if you don't use it as Sound Taxi prefers it over 
windows media player for certain file types.

   

  All the best, Ibrahim.

    HI,

     

    My file is digitally protected, and yes I am asked for the file name when I 
launch the program.

     

    Thanks.

    Hi Sharon.

     

    I use sound taxi, so I'd be glad to help.  When you launch the program, are 
you being asked to select the file or files you want to convert?  Remember that 
in order to convert a file, it needs to be playable in Windows Media Player, 
QuickTime or ITunes depending on which edition of Sound Taxi you're using and 
the file type involved.  Please give us more specifics.  Is the file your 
trying to convert digitally protected?  If so, you need to have the necessary 
licenses to play the file.

     

    All the best, Ibrahim.

      Hi,

       

      Could someone please give me some help with Sound Taxi.

       

      I want to convert a file into mp3, and am not getting on very well.  Is 
there some scripts for jaws I could get, or even a help file I could download.

       

      Any pointers gratefully received. 

       

      Sharon
