Actually not. All you need to do on the Mac would be to use something like TinkerTool to show invisible files. All the audio files are in the iPod Control folder which is invisible unless you make it visible. I don't know how you do this in XP, but I'm sure there's a way.

File naming is a problem this way, though.Non-descriptive file names are given to files on the iPod--I suspect as part of the DRM--to make it harder to sort through the files and find the one you want to copy back to the Mac/PC. So a better way is to use one of many shareware utilities on either platform that let you copy files iTunes back and forth between the iPod and the Mac/PC. (I use iPod Access.)

Keep this in mind if you ever lose your master files in iTunes. You can use this to restore those files, since you are not permitted a redownload--which is the only REAL irritation from my standpoint. Once you buy a book from Audible, you can redownload it as often as you like.

Yeah, OK, but that's exactly what I find disappointing.
And I can't see any reason for that restriction other than DRM, and putting the DRM requirements before the user's convenience.
