Hi, I've tried about 10 different methods of converting .aa (audible audio book) to .mp3 and have only had success with burning the audio book to cd and then ripping the audi book to .mp3 which takes way to long with a 21hour audio book and cds only hold 80mins! Can someone please give me a quick and simple guide to convert my audiobook to .mp3 so i can listen to it on my ipod while on the train? Thanks alot! Regards, Mortagen

Since I don't have an *.aa file, I can't be certain this'll work. Though apparently it worked for this guy I read on the net. http://www.riverpast.com/en/prod/au...

Tried it without success... and i used the quoted versions people say in forums... just simpley didn't work for me. Thanks for the quick response... any other ideas? anyone? Thanks in advanced! Regards.

"Audible audio files are compatible with over 230 models of audio players, PDAs, mobile phones and streaming media devices." The .aa format is a propriatry format that is a protected format. Your device is not compatible to this format? I believe IPod is one of those devices. (Maybe not since...) "In 2003, Audible made an exclusive deal with Apple to provide their catalog of books on the iTunes Music Store. Books purchased on iTunes have a .m4b extension (a variation on MP4), and contain AAC audio protected by Apple's FairPlay Digital Rights Management. Audible's use of digital rights management on its own .aa format has earned it criticism[3]." Perhaps you simply need to download them from the iTunes store to get them in .aac format? Bryan

Thanks for the reply! My MP3 player is a brandless one which only supports .mp3 format... it doesn't even support .wma ! Does anyone know how i can simpley and quickly convert the .aa file format to .mp3??? I'd really really appreciate any help! Thanks for the help already! Regards, Mortagen

I found this by googling. Forum http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_... http://winsite.planetmirror.com/win... http://www.soft29.com/audio_convert... Don't know if they will work. Before posting try google. Backup. Use anti virus software.

Thanks! i'll check them out and report back my results. Thanks! Regards.
