Rick: Currently, the Book Port does not support WMA files. >>> d28rik@xxxxxxx 03/08/05 11:31AM >>> >> You can play regular CD books, but you have to rip them first. = Ripping is the process of converting audio CDs into .wav, .mp3, or some other = file format.=20 My question is...=20 Is it true that Bookport does not play the windows media format file? = They have the .wma extension. I just tried the other day and copied an albums worth of a music cd = after having the windows media player rip it to that format. At same time, I loaded a couple audio books in mp3 format I bought from audio books for = free dot com and they play great. So I was figuring Bookport does not play = WMA files. The response I got from Bookport was "cannot play unfiltered = files." Please educate me if somebody does know. By the way I know that buying audio books for free sounds contradictory when you say you purchase, but they are actually very cheap, and free if = you download the very lowest sound quality. The readers seem to be all = British Shakespearean fellows and do a real nice job. Public domain works. = Lewis Carroll, Arthur Conan Doyle, Mark Twain, Rudyard Kipling and so on.

You can usually do this with CD burning software. You can also = find freeware rippers on the web.
