Compatability with audible.com (information technology is amazon later all)
It would seem that this is a no brainer for the evolution team at Media Monkey / Ventis Media. I don't know the verbal details but I know Media Monkey promotes purchasing music through amazon'due south website. Therefore I would imagine in that location was some sort of partnership hashed out. Audible.com is a subsidiary of Amazon, right? I know for a fact that you can sign upwards to audible.com through Media Monkey and do everything needed to download an audio volume through the amazon site (at the bottom of the site there is an audible link) considering I have done this. And so I was surprised that once my book was downloaded by the aural program I downloaded through Media Monkey, that I could not fifty-fifty listen to information technology through Media Monkey...let alone put it onto my ipod, unless I was to reformat it and go through itunes. This is where I am totally lost. How does Media Monkey promote amazon'due south mp3 site & state that purchasing helps Media Monkey but and then is not supported by aural.com (at least that is what the audible rep's tell me). Could you imagine you are a fan (for whatever reason) of itunes and you download music from the itunes store (Side Notation: which if you practice, don't reinstall your operating system or y'all volition lose your ability to play the music that you lot purchased - This is a whole 'nother topic but y'all have no rights to the music you bought?!?). Everything is great but then when yous download an audio book from the itunes store they tell you, "we practise not support itunes". Surely, Apple would never say, "You must apply Windows Media Plalyer to access your itunes shop purchased and downloaded sound volume".
I know DRM and the .aa format or the .aax format or whatever they endeavor to keep people from stealing or sharing or whatever. Personally, afterwards every expert book I accept bought and read I've passed it on...am I Robin Hood? Inappreciably, this is common practice I do believe. How many people read or listen to the same book over and over? This is not my point though. I am non interested in means around breaking the format to plow it into .mp3 - I would like to have the ability to utilize amazon's file format to use in Media Monkey and to put on my ipod through Media Monkey. I hope I accept been clear how I can not fathom that audible hasn't worked with Media Monkey since day ane. Unless Ventis has nada to practise with Amazon and it was built in to Media Monkey by 1 of the kind script programmer'due south not employed by Ventis. Are the parallels I am drawing with Apple off base? Does anyone accept whatsoever more data on this frustrating situation? 
For now I am downloading to my Android phone and bypassing my laptop, Media Monkey, Itunes, & Ipod because I don't have any other choice unless I were to attempt breaking the .aa format with Goldwave or similar (seemingly if there is a will there is a way). This defeats the purpose and creates an escalating boxing of capitalism vs. truthful free market.

I use audible too. Y'all can employ (I utilize) Nero. I accept version viii (haven't upgraded). Heres what you do. Download your audible tracks. Open you .aa files with Nero, it will prompt you lot for you audible password (part of nero and congenital in). You then burn to Nero Virtual Deejay Paradigm (instead of CD) and so load the ccd epitome with Nero Virtual Drive. Then you tin can use Media Monkey to Rip the .Flac files. Next send to whatsoever device and whatsoever bitrate.

Hi Rusty,
I see yous put this on the docket tardily in 2011. I'd like to affirm the idea of selling a plug-in to play .aa files. It would exist an excellent additional revenue stream. Yous could sell information technology as an contained add-on to the free version at one price so at a lower price for those who upgrade to Gold. That would further incentivize upgrades.
Where are you guys at with this?
Thanks,
