To head off a possible objection to the above suggestion, please direct your attention to Wikipedia's article on the sunk cost fallacy, here.
Yeah, I should cut my losses, but I'm stubborn and I'd like to make it work--at least once, for one book. I'm looking on it as a learning experience (!).

I think the implication was less that you were doing something wrong, but more that you were expecting something out of the service that it isn't designed to deliver. You want to burn files to a CD in MP3 format when Audible really only provides for doing that in WAV format.

It's a real nuisance that Audible doesn't let you burn in your preferred format, and I suspect it's meant to be.
But you're missing the point that FIRST I just want to burn in the Audible-sanctioned format (actually the files show up with a .cda extension). And I haven't even been able to take that first step without extensive problems. That's what is annoying.
