I have purchased 74 books from Audible over the past 5 years and recently their service has degraded too far. Although they allow "unlimited" burning of CDs for my own use, they cripple that pledge by requiring use of a software that allows only 1 ATTEMPT at burning. That current software is very unreliable, leading to major headaches trying to get a single usable copy of my books. It would burn one CD of 6 or 7 needed for the book file, then crash. Trying to burn CDs 2+ of that file would be flagged as a copyright infringement. Then I would have to get Audible to re-set MY copy of the book, re-download it, and start the burning process again. At which point it would crash&burn on a different point, but still leaving me WITHOUT a single copy of the book! And leaves me with a growing stack of CD#1 and maybe CD#2 of the series. Who wants to listen to the opening chapter over and over without any of the middle or ending chapters?
Adding to that insult, they recently charged me more than 50 bucks for books I had purchased months before but had NEVER successfully burned, but had to get "re-initialized". I view all this as a problem that AUDIBLE has created because they refuse to license anything other than one single software package to burn their precious little bitty books. And now that software gives problems so Audible owes us all either another CD burning software or owes me a better way to burn my CDs. AND an appology for double-charging my credit card.
They have a large library, and they promise the world, but deliver only the festering contents of an overused septic tank. A very big bother trying to get one usable set of CDs and they double-charge for that!
Save your money.
