When I copy my Audible files, the copies are no longer considered "Audible content" by MC. The files no longer show up under the "Downloaded Titles" in the Audible smartlist, which seems to be due to the fact that the "content distributor" tag is blank on the copy (i.e. it no longer says "audible" like the original file does.) This field is read only, so I can't change it back to "audible."
This means that if I have to use backups of my Audible files, MC doesn't recognize them as audible files anymore, and when I bring my previous Audible content into MC, it does not show up under the "Audible" tree heading.
A workaround for this seems to be to change the rules of the "Downloaded Titles" smartlist so that it shows "File type: aa" rather than "Content Distributor: Audible." This "seems" to work for the moment, but I'm not sure what the repercussions of this might be. Is this the way to handle this, and if so, what is the point of the "Content Distributor" tag, and why doesn't MC11 use "File type: aa" by default instead? My concern is that Audible might use other formats, and that in this case, you'd need the "Content Distributor" tag to identify this file as Audible content.
Thanks,
