I called Audible.com about N900...nothing yet from them, but getting requests.
Did anyone figure out something for N900 and Audible.com files?

I listen to a lot of audible books on my N900. The only way I have managed to do this is by downloading the files to my pc via audible manager and then strip the drm out of them with a program called sound taxi and load the converted mp3 on to the N900, doesn't take too long.
Never had to do this with my old symbian os phones as the audible app available for symbian works very well. Agreed we really need something like this for maemo right now.

There may be other options available that are free, but ST is the best I could find. Plus what with recent developments/news [Meego] it is doubtful we will get anything from audible for maemo now. At least we have Panucci for playing the converted books

There is a teensy bit of hope, at least in my brain, that with the next update of Flash support will come support of Adobe Air, which might help with Audible books.
One of the things that has surprised me about the N900 is how Nokia happily dropped things it supported in earlier tablets, namely the Garnet/Palm/Audible stuff, as well as Rhapsody.

Nokia never did any garnet, palm, and never had any support for DRM audio files on the previous tablets.

Hi I found an app called micremulator which is supposed to emulate a java based phone. Audible have a beta java player, anyone know how to get the two to work together?
