[running to try this right now!...]

Well serves me right for trusting the users docs! I knew Audible type 4 was an mp3 file, but I assumed the wrapper was required!

This is neat! The downside is, it appears considers each file a book, and so if your book is 10 files, you'll have to listen to one go to the home screen, and select the next. It does remember your position in each file, but the only way to navigate appears to be to use the 30 sec forward and back...there's no ff or rew, and I don't know anyway to make use of Audible-type chapter breaks in .MP3 files.

But it works! This is neat! And you can put the book part files together in a sub-directory under audible for easier external management, the kindle seems to see them all flat.

And plus, I guess there is no reason why you couldn't put music files in the same folder, so Ticallion, there is your .MP3 GUI!

Still not as functional as a purpose built utility for music or book mp3s, but certainly a neat bonus.
