What the plug in does is substitute an mp3 writer in place of the sound card. You can rip anything that you can play, WITHOUT being moitored in any way, and if you can find the appropriate plug in that plays your audio book files ... bingo. wma is played by winamp, so i assume they're in another format.<BR/><BR/>23 cd's is a heck of a lot of data ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19298483.post-82641381194136983222009-02-05T20:32:00.000+02:002009-02-05T20:32:00.000+02:00>> And since you're not even getting qua...>> And since you're not even getting quality, what is the rationale?<BR/><BR/>That's why I am demanding a refund.<BR/><BR/>I use Winamp too, but it doesn't play the audible format. The audio books are not sold as CDs (that's even more expensive) but as downloadable files. It's possible to write most of the titles to CD, but "Brisingr" requires 23 CDs, which just adds to the cost.<BR/><BR/>Buying audio books in CD format is exhorbitantly expensive. "Brisingr" on 23 CDs is over R600 from Kalahari.net<BR/><BR/>Winamp can rip CDs directly to MP3, so I don't see the need for a plugin.Donn Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07954994300802439618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19298483.post-15299111379486884892009-02-05T13:37:00.000+02:002009-02-05T13:37:00.000+02:00You spend so much money on stuff that you don't ne...You spend so much money on stuff that you don't need.<BR/><BR/>And since you're not even getting quality, what is the rationale?<BR/><BR/>I use winamp for all my audio playing, and with "chun-yu's mp3 creator" plugin, i convert any files to mp3 quickly and easily, with all the options i could ever use, free.<BR/><BR/>The other advantage to it is that you can rip ANY audio, whether or not the cd is protected. There is nothing worse than not being able to rip a cd you own, for nokia/mp3 players etc.<BR/><BR/>peaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
