Audible Player on 8800

[luvmy8800]

I have a new 8800 that I love. I'd like to download content from Audible.com onto the device. I have Audible Player installed, and can successfully login and view my library. When I try to download content my player just hangs at the connected prompt. The content/library never downloads. I've made the changes to BES suggested at Audible's site, formatted my media card, - no luck.

My player version is 1.0.54.

Any Suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

LuvMy8800

You say you are BES, is there any IT restriction from your BES admins?

[luvmy8800]

Per my I.T. Department there are no restrictions. They also made some changes they found in a document on Audible's site to confirm/allow content to be downloaded.

Thanks for replying.

There is an audible air training guide for BB 8100 & 8800. Copy it and make sure you are following each detail in the guideline. They have excellent sceenshots to guide you in this training guide.

#1 I had to download the books thru the computer using bb desktop software as I can't get it to download directly over audible air with BB.

#2 When loading books to your bb memory card using desktop manager;
select device memory;
enter music when asked name of new folder, click ok;
doubleclick on music, create a new folder "audible" inside it.

This is the file and location that audible looks for when you are loading a format #4 (must download format 4 on 8800) book on your media card. If you load them in different location, audible will not find and read your selection.

I don't understand but it works and I have listened to over 10 books in last few months.

Hello-

I have a new 8830 as well. If you look here:

Answer (http://audible.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/audible.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3370&p_created=1158870942)

you are able to load the Java player on to the 8830. Works fine for me.

Hope this helps,
