Re: re question about audible
Brian, What happens when you click on the Library link? What happens for me is I need to sign into my audible account with my password and hit continue. That in turn opens the Library, although there is a lot of material before the Library section of the web page. Using Jaws I generally navigate to the Library section with the insert plus enter command. I have to hit that several times. Once there, I find a list of my books. Depending on how things are sorted it might be books purchased in the last 6 months or all of my books by author whichever I've selected. If I want to download the first book or portion of a book in the list. I call up my lists command with insert plus f7 and search using the letter d to find the download link. After the title of the book, there are lots of rating links before getting to the download link. Hitting enter on the Donwload link starts the download and by alt tabing, I can navigate to a page that shows me the process of my download. Once downloaded, if I have my device plugged into the computer, Audible Manager starts up and transfers the book to my device. If for some reason it does do that automatically, I navigate to the book in Audible Manager and hit alt plus t to commence the transfer process. Once completed, I can exit each of the now open three pages and disconnect my device. Where in the process described above do things go wrong for you? There is a Blind Audible listserv I think it's at blindaudible-subscr...@yahoogroups.com At least that's where it used to be. I'm assuming that you have both the Audible Download Manager and Audible Manger downloaded and installed. Let me know at what point things go badly for you and I'll see if I can help.

Re: re question about audible
Well, with ie10 and windows 7 x64 and Window-eyes, near the top of the regular page it says library, if I click on that the page I get has where you can search your entries for the past six months, and I think I can download from that page, the download manager has been kind of funky, but I did manage to do it.

Portable MP3 players on topic for this list? -was Re: re question]
According to the info page for this list, it says: PC-audio is a list for the discussion of any PC audio related topic such as PC audio software like sound editors, audio players and audio formats; and hardware like sound cards, CD and DVD devices and so on. I read this to mean that portable MP3 players (which are not PC's) are not on topic for this list. I'll further point out the following: * There are quite a few lists already for different portable media players that get far more traffic than this list, so I would encourage the moderator to not allow the discussion of portable media players on this list. We could easily be swamped by discussions on iPods and iPhones. I've already left several lists since I don't have a device from Apple yet, and I don't have time to wade through all of the discussion on those products. * If the original question were posed to a Humanware or Victor Stream list, it seems like the question would have been answered much more quickly and efficiently. Well, that's my $0.02 and I'll leave the rest up to the moderator and the list itself. Note that I think this is an important topic since, as I said above, this list would become meaningless, at least for me, if it's subject matter is going to become too generic. I'd also suggest that if we're allowing such wide ranging topics then it's even more important to use good subject lines. That way it'll be easier for the different subject matter experts to pick out the messages they're interested in and the people posing the questions will get quicker and better answers. I'd also like to see the whole threads get posted as well. Sometimes it's hard to tell what the original question was or whether the point I want to make has already been addressed yet or not if I can't read through the whole history.

Re: Portable MP3 players on topic for this list? -was Re: re question]
Ah, I'm not trying to moderate this list! IMHO, the moderator already does a great job. That is one job I don't want, and I'm fine with letting someone else do it! :-) I'm also perfectly fine with abiding by his decisions. All I meant to do below is point out what he specified when he set up this list and what I personally thought that meant with respect to his intent for this list. I'm not sure how many people look at the info page for a given list or the introductory message they get when they sign up for a list before they start figuring out what is and isn't on topic or what is and isn't appropriate for the list. On some lists, you used to see periodic reminders of the lists guidelines, but that practice seems to have fallen by the way side, since I don't think I've seen that practiced much lately. Even with a clear statement on what's on and off topic for a list, things are still open to interpretation, which is why I think it's important to occasionally get a decision from the moderator on some of the Grey topics. I have my own opinions on where to set the boundaries for this list, and I gave them below, along with my reasons, but as I said, I'm perfectly OK with whatever the moderator decides, and you won't see me questioning his decision or arguing with him on this list. This is his list, and I'm just trying to be respectful to his intentions and the time and commitment he makes to setting up and moderating this list.
