Originally, this special .sys file is created when you use activate your player using the Audible.com manager on the windows side. That is why you want to be careful not to lose it once you've got it. At the moment, the only way to Authorise a new player if you have no prior authorization and thus no .sys file is to do it on the windows side. This means either have a windows PC or lap top at hand, or else install windows on your Mac. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!
