Hi Ester.
Thanks for the information--that's exactly what I was looking for.
I am going tyhrough this kick of turning a bunch of etexts I want to
"read" into audiofiles to listen to on my iPod using Books2Burn to
make them MP3s and then converting them to .aac and then bookmarking
them. Gladit's as simple as I had hoped.

Hi Jane,
You asked, I think, about whether it's possible to burn files
on which you've run the "Make Bookmarkable" AppleScript
so they appear in the Audiobooks section of iTunes.

Yes, you can burn these files to CD without problems since
your original AAC files are not copy protected. Here's a
section from the "Make Bookmarkable.rtf" file that comes with
the downloaded AppleScript:
<begin excerpt>
• The "kind" of a bookmarkable track in iTunes is listed as
"Protected AAC audio file". If you use "Make Bookmarkable" to alter
your non-protected AAC files they will be thus designated. Their
file icons will also display the tiny lock glyph. But in reality
they are not copy protected. (If it were that easy to make an audio
file copy protected it would be just as easy to remove the copy
protection and Apple would never allow this.)
<end excerpt>
Showing up as "Protected" is a side effect of script since the
files that naturally fall into the Audiobooks section of iTunes
are either Audible files or audiobooks purchased from the
iTunes Store, and both of these are "protected" files. Just burn
these using the "data disk" format option under iTunes.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther
