 Re: converting Audible (.aa) files to MP3 with Goldwave

: : Hi there,
: : I just started using Audible today with Goldwave, and I noticed the same thing. Here is what I did:

: : When the meter reaches 99%, press the "back" button on the Audible section navigator box.

: : It appears that Goldwave is expecting about 10 seconds more audio than the Audible program is providing, so by pressing the back button, you repeat 10 seconds from the last section.

: : Where did those 10 seconds go?

: Ok - finally got it to work, but it is a long, convoluted process that costs me a blank CD every time.

: 1. Install the roxio CD plugin for Audible and begin a burn. The individual tracks are written into a temp file as open wav files.
: 2. While the CD is burning, copy the temp wav files into another folder. (if you cancel the burn, Audible will erase the temp files).
: 3. Optional, rename the files with a utility so the MP3 tags will make sense.
: 4. Convert the wavs to mp3s with Goldwave

: I am still open to someone that can simplify this process. Seems like a heck of a lot of trouble to go through just to get to listen to the WSJ every morning!

: Thanks,
: William


Actually, you can do it without wasting a CD if you eject the CD while Roxio is preparing the .WAV files. This is the method I have been using because it is faster than GoldWave. I only wish I could fool Roxio into thinking I had a bigger "CD" (like 4 GB) in the drive.
