Further update -- OpenAudible seems to work great, after just one experiment. It makes a single large mp3, which may be a problem for some folks, but which works fine for me. And it preserves the metadata, including the cover pic. So I'm a happy camper. :-)

What would be the highest quality MP3 settings to convert to? I'm trying to back up my Audibles.

Either 64 or 96 kbps is what I use for audiobooks.

Thanks, that what it seems it is, 64 bitrate. Years ago it was 128 for enhanced but they seem to have changed it over the years to 64.
I've noticed newer books are sounding more and more tinny now I know why. Sent from my Nexus 7 |

Can one read too much?

I have some Audible books that were subsequently "discontinued" by Audible U. S. but cannot recall any being actually removed from my library later.
I purchased a DRM removal kit because I can divide a book into roughly one-hour (CD sized) parts that way. My Sansa Clip plays Audible books as one item, but only indicates elapsed time; the progress bar isn't really exact enough to give me an idea of how much of the book I have left to go. |

I won't know what devices will be available in 4 years and what devices I currently have that will fail, but at least I will have a way of listening to what I bought. |

I think that I've tracked down what is happening.
As I've been cleaning up my database of audiobooks, I've been going back to audible to redownload some of the books. I've noticed that books where they have created new audio versions of the books with a different narrator is where the problem is. Basically, when there is a new narrator, the old version drops off and since I haven't purchased the new version, it vanishes from my library. Since I'm in the habit of downloading audiobooks as soon as I've purchased them, I don't actually lose them. They will play on my devices just fine, but I can't redownload them. |
