2. Audible.com Books and Audible Manager
Q. Can the BrailleNote play recorded books from
Audible.com?
A. Yes. However, you must first be a member of the Audible
service and use the Audible Manager program to authorize your
BrailleNote to play the protected Audible books.
Q. Can I try out the Audible service without subscribing?
A. Yes. HumanWare has a partnership with Audible that allows
HumanWare customers to try the Audible service free for 14 days
including the download of a free Audible book. To learn more
visit:http://www.audible.com/humanware
You can cancel at any time during the trial period and still keep
your downloaded book.
Q. What is Audible Manager?
A. Audible Manager is a Windows software program that you
download and install from Audible.com when you become an Audible
member. Audible Manager is then used to activate your
BrailleNote to enable it to play Audible books. Audible Manager
will also keep a list of your downloaded Audible books and allow
you to play them on your computer and transfer them to your
BrailleNote. Audible Manager runs on Windows 2000, XP, and
Vista. It does not run on Windows 98 or ME.
Q. Can I listen to a sample Audible book before subscribing?
A. Yes. Visit: http://www.audible.com/humanware to sign up for
a free 14-day trial of Audible including a free book download and
the Audible Manager software. You may keep the book if you
decide not to subscribe to Audible.
There are also excerpts of Audible content on our Web site at
www.humanware.com/braillenote_support . Sample books do not need
authorization through the Audible Manager. You will need to
create a folder called "Audible" in your selected memory. We
recommend you use a card reader and use Windows Explorer to copy
the .aa Audible book files to the Audible folder on your storage
card.
Q. How do I activate my BrailleNote with Audible Manager?
A. First, be sure you have version 5.5.0.4 or higher of Audible
Manager, and Microsoft ActiveSync (Windows XP or earlier), or
windows Mobile Device Center, Windows Vista.) If you are an
existing Audible customer, you can download the latest version of
Audible Manager from
http://download.audible.com/AM50/ActiveSetupN.exe
When Install Shield asks you to choose a player device, you may
choose 'Humanware BrailleNote'. Alternatively, you can also
choose "No mobile Device" during the installation because you can
also add the Humanware BrailleNote device later from Audible
Manager.
Once it is installed, be sure to remain connected to the Internet
and run Audible Manager. With Audible Manager running you are
now ready to activate your BrailleNote's storage card to play
Audible books. Follow these steps:
. Insert the storage card into the BrailleNote. Power off your
BrailleNote and connect it to your computer using the provided
USB cable. Then power the BrailleNote back on. You should hear
a rising chiming sound as the BrailleNote is recognized by the
PC. Important: When using Audible Manager, you must connect the
BrailleNote. You cannot activate your storage card in a card
reader.
. In Audible Manager, press Alt+D to open the Device pull down
menu.
. If you did not specify the 'Humanware BrailleNote' during
Audible Manager installation, then choose the Add New Device
option.
. You will then be asked to connect to the Internet so Audible
Manager can update necessary components. Select the YES button
to proceed.
. Audible Manager will then present a list of possible devices.
Arrow down the list to Humanware BrailleNote and select it. Then
tab to the OK button and activate it
. Audible Manager will download the plug-in for the BrailleNote
and then ask to close Audible Manager to install the plug-in on
your computer. Select the OK button.
. Audible Manager will then close and reopen.
. Once open, press the F6 key to select the mobile device that
Audible Manager should scan for content, and arrow to the
Humanware Braille Notes option. If "Humanware BrailleNote" is
not an option, press the f5 key to refresh the list of devices.
. Right-click and select properties from the drop down menu, or
alternatively press Control Shift D to open the device
properties.
. Tab to the Storage selection combo box and arrow to the
storage card you would like to activate, where you plan on
storing your future Audible Books.
. Tab to the OK button.
. Again open the Device menu and choose the option to activate
your device.
. Audible Manager will prompt you to enter your Audible
Username and password. Then press the OK button to activate your
BrailleNote's storage card.
. Note that Audible refers to the BrailleNote device as
Humanwre BrailleNote. Please do not select 'Humanware Players'
as this refers to the Victor Reader Stream and the ClassMate.
. After you press OK, the storage card should become activated.
You can verify this as there will be a folder named Audible on
your storage card and a file named AudibleActivation.sys in that
folder. Note that this is a system file and will not appear
unless your Windows folder options are set to show hidden system
files. However, you do not need to change your folder options as
this will not affect use of Audible. If the Audible folder is
created then likely the Activation file is there.
Q. Can I use more than one storage card for Audible books on
the BrailleNote?
A. Yes. If you need to use a second storage card for Audible,
simply repeat the procedure listed above or create an Audible
folder on the second card and copy the AudibleActivation.sys file
to it.
Q. After activating my BrailleNote, how do I transfer Audible
books to it?
A. You may use Audible Manager with the BrailleNote connected to
transfer your Audible books to the BrailleNote. An easy way to
do this is to arrow down to the book you want in the Audible
Manager library list. Then press the applications key on your
keyboard and from the resulting context menu, select the "Add to
Humanware BrailleNote". Audible Manager will place the Audible
book .aa file in the Audible folder of the storage card.
Instead of transferring books with Audible Manager, you may also
place your storage card into a card reader and use Windows
Explorer to copy the .aa Audible book files from the Audible
download folder to the Audible folder. The default Audible
download folder is:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Audible\Downloads
Or, if you updated an older version of Audible Manager it may be:
C:\Program Files\Audible\Programs\Downloads
You cannot create separate subfolders in Audible for each book.
Q. Which Audible formats are supported on the BrailleNote?
A. Audible format 4 books should be downloaded for use on the
BrailleNote.
Q. After resetting my BrailleNote I am unable to play Audible
content.
A. If a 4 5 6 reset (J K L on QT models) was done for diagnostic
or troubleshooting purposes you may need to reactivate using the
Audible Manager software.
Q. Is there a limit to the number of devices or storage cards I
can activate for use with the Audible service?
A. Audible allows customers to activate up to 8 different
devices per account, allowing someone to potentially activate a
BrailleNote, a Victor Reader Stream, and an Apple iPod all for
use with content purchased with the same Audible user account.
Note that the BrailleNote may only be activated for one Audible
user account at a time.
Education never ends. It is a series of lessons, with the
greatest for the last.

Hi, Linette,
I looked in the Apex manual and found nothing about how to get
the Apex to
work with Audible.
Fortunately, the HIMS products work great with Audible.

I have been trying to authorize my Apex to play Audible content
for two
months and called tech support three times and the person I spoke
to knew
less than I did. It was the same person on all three occasions
and she was
very vague and provided me with very little assistance. If I
have to call
again and get the same person, I will just hang up. Prior to
calling HW, I
read the manual on line and the Apex and it was clear as mud.

Hi,
Has any one successfully used the Apex with Audible? I just
joined
Audible, and it works beautifully with my HIMS products, but not
with the
Apex.
