Don, you could do the same with Sound Taxi, and your project would be done much more quickly. I'll give you an example of what I am speaking of. I downloaded The Three Musketeers from Overdrive. The book has 24 parts. I started converting with Sound Taxi around 9:00 last night. When I got back to the computer this morning at around 9:00, the conversion was done. If I had tried recording the book in real time, it wouldn't be done until sometime tonight. Remember. Each part is approximately 1 hour in length. But... "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still."

Although I have not used Sound Taxi recently, when I did use it,
I found that it was fairly fast at converting files which are the
size of individual music tracks, 3 to 5 megs. However, as the
file size increased, the speed of the Sound Taxi conversion
decreased dramatically. Frankly, for me, Sound Taxi for this
purpose was far more trouble than it was worth. It is far easier
in the long run merely to set up Total Recorder for an over
nighter.
Cordially,
Don Roberts

Lana,
Clear and honest, perhaps, but totally incorrect!
Sound Taxi, from www.soundtaxi.info, WILL convert Overdrive books
to MP3 at
much faster than "real-time" speed, period!!!
I quote, in part, from the Sound Taxi site:
Q: "Can I convert DRM protected WMA, M4P or iTunes files?"
A: "Yes, you can convert WMA, AAC, M4P files that are
protected with
Digital Rights Management (DRM)."
Q: "Is it illegal to convert DRM protected files with
SoundTaxi?"
A: "No, technically SoundTaxi does not circumvent
Microsoft's or
Apple's iTunes DRM protection. Microsoft's DRM protection system
is
unprotecting the protected DRM audio files."
You may download a full-featured demo version at the above link
before you
buy the whole thing for $15. I've used Sound Taxi over a year to
convert
files for my wife with NO, that's N O, problem!
I have no fiscal or personal interest with the makers or
retailers of Sound
Taxi software. Just passing on the "rest of the story" to all
bookport
users.
Warm regards,
Don Bomer...
