I have searched the forum and tried following advice in previous thread [see below] but to no use ...


i've downloaded the 95/98 version of the Audible Manager but it can't seem to install the WMP support -claims to not being able to find it ... so the WMP cant play it now ,and the dbpowerAMP keeps throwing the "The CODEC required to decompress,DirectShow filter for '.aa' not installed" error....

please help -my new mp3 player doesnt support .aa ... :(

I can confirm that this is so. I had the newest version of Audible Manager (as of 5/27/2006, but I uninstalled it so don't have the exact version) and I couldn't convert. I didn't understand because conversion works on my old computer, with v. 5.0, all else set up exactly the same. Uninstalled the newest version and downloaded & installed 4.0 (found as the Win 98/ME version) (and actually you download their "Active Installer" which goes online and gets the rest) and I can convert again! Yay! BTW my new P4 3.2 GHz machine converts WAY faster than the P3-933 did!
