The audiobook goes straight from the website to your player via the app. This will likely mean that the file will not play on your PC if you copy it from your player to your computer. I think that means most of the jailbreak programs will no longer work since the rights authorization does not exist on your PC. The Audible Download Manager places the rights on your PC when it downloads currently.

My desktop PC, which I use to download, is running Windows 7. Fun.
Are you sure that it's the Audible Manager that authorizes the rights? I have often had a problem with titles taking an excessively long time to be added to the Audible Manager after downloading, such that I give up. Or I will get a popup telling me that a title hasn't been added to Audible Manager and I should add it myself. I have converted these fully downloaded titles without any problem.
I wish there was a way to know in advance exactly what the heck they're doing. I am still sitting on two gift cards from last year that give me six credits, plus several credits from my Silver membership. If Audible is going to be screwed up, I'll use up all the credits and say adios.
