While it is probably not that helpful at this point the Download Manager will fail to add your titles to the Audible Manager if the Audible Manager is already open. Close the Audible Manager after each download and this will not happen. Or, alternatively, let it happen, then re-name the file to something that doesn't contain 72,000 extraneous characters, and then add manually. I do this for the best results.
I'm getting more confused, and I think some of it is semantics--I'm not sure we're talking about the same things.

When I click the download button at the Audible web page, it opens a little window that is labeled Audible Downloads. The audiobook starts to download, showing a status bar. When it gets to 100 percent, it processes for a while, eventually opening Audible Manager, to which the book is added. I close and ignore Audible Manager, open the Audible downloads folder, and convert the book with aaxtomp3.

There's no time in the process when I actually use Audible Manager, nor do I do anything with Windows Media Player. I never open Audible Manager on my own. Once I convert the aax file, I delete it, so it's gone from my PC and from Audible Manager.

Anyway, if the original Audible Downloads window still works, it seems like there shouldn't be a problem. If Audible eliminates the option to download from the web page directly, then there's a huge problem.
