Feb 17, 2006 - AA files to MP3 was successful with audibleManager version 5.5.0.3 which. 2) I then started the Goldwave audio conversion software and I.
'No sadly you can not convert.mp3 to.aa. But you can convert your Audiobooks on CD or.mp3's to something like the.aa format.' To convert to their proprietary format you'll have to have them do it. It's not something that is in the public domain such as MP3. However if you had read a few select hits you find this - 'But you can convert your Audiobooks on CD or.mp3's to something like the.aa format.
Useing iTunes convert your CD /.mp3 to Apple's AAC (.M4a) Format. Useing Windows File Explorer change that extension to.M4b. That'll enable iTunes Bookmarking feature wich you can also use on the iPod. Audible unlike MP3 is not an encoding that someone has put the definition into the public domain. Many won't take no for the answer so I've taken to answer the audible question with a search since many won't take the answer on my word. Here's what could help you out.
Research what other formats your player uses and see if they have bookmark features. This is why I noted the iPod method. Then you can see if your player has something similar. And NO I don't have a solution for you. Just the answer. If we take what we've learned so far, AA is not a solution since the encoder is PROPRIETARY and you see the dead end that is there. If we look at Brad's Software Productions you see how people know they want this feature and will code it into MP3 or CD Player (Brad's) such as However if we must stick to the Sandisk we may have no solution beyond what Sandisk gives us since they may not be able to supply it due to PATENTS.
Yes, there's that ugly word I was trying to avoid and drill right down to the answer before. But you want to know WHY? And 'is there any way?' So we have to go over the ground called PATENTS and more.
I will not supply the specific patent but let you do the research at I wonder if you'll write I don't know? Sorry but my background includes product development of some dozen electronic gizmos and patent searches are par for the course so there is a patent on this idea. Sandisk sadly might not be able to justify paying for this feature since the added sales wouldn't pay off the patent.
Besides they may be a partner with Audible which would withdraw the.AA support if they gave you another bookmark method. We'll never know that story.
Here's the answer again (no.) Owner after owner complaining about the lack of bookmarking. That's the answer. You have the wrong device.
