Hi amro
Now, I am starting to get somewhere, thanks to you.
You were correct; I only had the audible Download manager in my programs list.
I do not really understand how I managed to get the Download Manager and missed
out on getting the audible Manager at the same time. well, I have now got the
Audible Manager installed. I suppose that until someone with experience points
out something is missing you never know that you should have it in the first
place. So thanks again.
I could then go to the library section in the manager.
To begin with nothing would play in the library, but that is because Audible
did not prompt me to the fact that I should authorise the device (my PC) before
I could play any books. I just hunted around the menus and stumbled across the
authorisation and tried it - following authorisation - I am very pleased to say
the book is playing out loud and clear.
For some reason wMP also started up and at one stage I had two copies of the
audio reading to me at the same time from different pages. I really did laugh
out loud.
Everything is sorted out now and I have read the JAWS list of key commands you
told me about. I have managed to increase and decrease the volume and go
forwards and backwards, although, rather strangely, pressing control K does not
seem to set a book mark. How do I return to a bookmark once I have set it? I
will read again the JAWS commands to see if I have missed some vital clues.
Kindest regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew, no worries mate. I think you're looking in the wrong place all
together. I take it you have already installed the Audible software? Go to
Start menu>All Programs>Audible Manager submenu, and run the Audible Manager,
not the Audible Download Manager. In Audible Manager you should find your
library and the books you downloaded.
I'm happy to help as much as I can no problems but yeah Audible support teem
is quite good. I've tried them more than once by email and phone and they were
always very helpful, and the people I spoke to were aware of Jaws and screen
readers too.
Hope that helps a bit and feel free to come back if you need more help!
Cheers,
Amro

Hi again Amro
Thank you. You mention a library, when I tab around the Audible Download
Manager I do not find a library, but it does say 'downloads', so I enter this
and it announces 'no files', then I tab around to something called 'downloads
folder' and there I find my audible book - when I press enter on it I get a
message saying "You have no programme associated with this file" and it tells
me to "Create an association in the folders Options control panel?
I am sorry to bother you with this again and after this question I will go
away and contact Audible instead of using up your time.
Very best regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I'm not sure I'm afraid. The import dialog is accessible alright over
here. I'm using Jaws11 but I don't recall having any issues with this dialog
using older versions of Jaws. I don't know but you could try using the Jaws
cursor and see if that yields any results. One thing though, you don't need to
import the programs you download; Audible Manager import them automatically. Is
any of your Audible programs not showing in the Audible Manager library then?
The import feature is used in cases like when you download on one computer then
transfer the Audible programs to another computer to listen to them.
HTH,
Amro

Hi Amro
I have started reading through the JAWS help pages and did not realise
Audible was even listed before you told me - so thanks for that.
When I go to the Audible download Manager it asks me if I want to
import any books, so I press enter and then I can go no further as the 'ok'
option is not visible to Jaws.
I will keep reading the JAWS help pages, but I thought you might also
have some advice.
thanks for all the help so far.
regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
You can use Audible Manager to listen to books instead of WMP. To set
a bookmark in Audible Manager it's Control B. Audible Manager remembers the
place in the book where you left off too. There's a section in the Jaws help
files about using Audible Manager with Jaws; you'll find all you need in there.
The Audible Manager topic comes under (Popular Applications with Jaws) book in
the help files.
Happy reading!
Amro

I have just downloaded an Audible.co.uk book.
How do I set a marker to return to the place where I finished my
last listening session in a book? I am using Windows Media Player at the
moment, but would be happy to use something else if setting markers is easier.
I use Jaws.
Best regards
Andrew
