[gui-talk] Zen Stone and Audible.com

[Joel Deutsch]

Jen,

It sounds as if you're not sure how this stuff works. Now please forgive me 
if you know. But here's what you do.

Let's say you bought an item on audible, and then downloaded it. First of 
all, when you click on the button Download It on the My Library page under 
that title, Audible Manager should automatically launch about the time when 
the download is finishing. And then you will see that you are in the Library 
pane of the Audible Manager interface, and you can arrow up and down and 
confirm that the title you just downloaded is there.

Okay. Now here's how you transfer the title to your mobile device, the Zen 
Stone. First of all, of course make sure that the Zen Stone is plugged into 
your USB port where you plug it in. You will hear Audible manager tell you 
that it's connected and that Audible Manager is synchronizing with it. Don't 
do anything else until you have this part together. If this doesn't work 
right, then you need to look at my last remarks in this message.


Okay. Now when you press Insert down arrow (in jaws, that is) to read the 
status line, Audible Manager will assure you that your Zen Stone is 
connected and synched.

Now just be in that library pane of Audible Manager, where your new purchase 
is. It might be in several parts, if it's a long book, so don't forget to 
notice that and leave any part behind.

Now select the file you wish to put on your Zen Stone. Press Control T, and 
Audible Manager will ask if you wish to make any adjustments to how the 
transfer is being made, and you can probably ignore this. Just press Enter 
to start the transfer, and Jaws will speak the progress of the transfer 
(they call this process transferring, not copying). When you hear that the 
transfer's complete, tab over into the mobile device pane and arrow up or 
down to find what you just put on there, and you'll see how this looks.

Assuming the stuff is on the Zen Stone now, you can just exit Audible 
Manager (don't use Alt f4; instead, use the Exit item on the Files menu). 
Then, being sure to first do the Safely remove hardware thing that you'll 
find on your system tray list I hope, remove the Zen Stone from the USB 
port. And now it's loaded with that file.

You see, the Audible files are DRM encoded (digital rights management), and 
the only way to copy them so that they'll play is to do it through Audible 
Manager. Okay? Music files  like .mp3 files you've createedd yourself can be 
copied to the Zen Stone just the way you thought, by using Windows Explorer 
to copy and paste. But not the Audible programs.

I hope this is clear. Now, if you need to activate the Zen Stone for Audible 
Manager and select it properly, I'm too hurried right now to explain that. 
But if you need help doing that,  the Audible support staff will walk you 
thought it, or maybe even connect up with you and do it for you (although it 
would be better to learn to do it yourself). Their toll free number is
(888) 283-5051.

Hope this helps.

Oh, thanks for telling me that. No, I didn't copy it from the manager. I
will try that.

Thanks,

Jen
