I got that. I was just responding to the previous post mentioning the
Audible manager after I posted that my version of the download manager was
6.0.15 even though the version currently available for download on Audible
is 5 point something. I don't know why they made the decision to have the
older version be the currently distributed one. I haven't had any problems
with version 6, but they had to have some reason.
I do wonder why they stopped development. I think that the current version
will work fine indefinitely, specific issues with one or more screen readers
notwithstanding, but what will they do if Windows 10 doesn't get along with
it. One can have books delivered directly to devices, but I don't know if
one can download to a PC without the manager as I've never tried. I like the
ability to have the download manager handle the download and then
automatically add the books to whatever libraries I wish. I suppose that if
the download manager stops working with a later version of Windows or OSX,
they can begin development again or develop an entirely new download
manager.
Whatever is causing the crashes with Window Eyes 9, I hope it gets sorted
out. I am not having the issue so far, but having had my share of issues
with Audible and Window eyes, I definitely sympathize.
Regards,
Chris

Hi,
the lock-ups that I mean are exclusively with Audible Download
Manager. The other program, which is just called Audible Manager, has
nothing to do with them.
Both programs, however, are no longer developed, which just means
there won't be any more updates, but of course they are still the
recommended way to manage Audible Content on the Windows platform.
They haven't been retired or anything of that sort.
Kind regards,
Felix

is
the one that pops up when you do a download, manages the download and then
adds the books downloaded to whichever applications you select in the
settings. It works with iTunes, Windows Media Player, the Audible Manager
and so on. I have mine set up to add to iTunes and the Audible Manager
even
though I never use the Audible Manager.
The Audible Manager doesn't have anything to do with downloads. It is like
iTunes, WMP, WinAmp and so on. One can play books from it and can
authorize
various devices and then be used to add or remove books that the Download
Manager has added to it on and off of authorized devices.
I didn't check the version of Audible Manager that I have. Since I use
Apple
devices now, I never even start up Audible Manager anymore. Even when I
used
Creative Labs players, I only used it to authorize new devices when I got
them. I didn't think to check the version of Audible Manager since the
discussion was about the management of downloads and Audible Manager
doesn't
have anything to do with that. It is basically Audible's version of WMP
and
iTunes in that it is for managing devices and content that has already
been
downloaded.

Chris

I get the sense that we are dealing with two different software programs
here. I remember that there is one named audible manager and there is
another that I think works with iTunes named audible download manager.

That is interesting. The version I am using, that was installed quite some
time ago is listed as version 6.6.0.15. Makes me wonder which version is
working best. If Audible is having users download an older version now,
perhaps there are issues with the newer one. I haven't had any problems
unless other issues are occurring.

Chris

hmmm, if the downloa manager has ceased development, what is the correct
way now to download audible content? And once you download it, can you
play it on the computer or authorize a device, etc?

Development of Audible Manager has ceased, so there won't be any more
updates. At least that's what Audible Support told me a few months ago
when I contacted them about lock-ups which might just be those you are
getting. My Downloads always complete, however, so if I wait for some
time and then restart WE I usually find the audiobook on my hard drive
and in good order. So this might be annoying but not too critical,
especially with the restart Feature in place.
Kind regards,
Felix
