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.

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.
