please help -my new mp3 player doesnt support .aa ... :([/COLOR]

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!
