I asked about this a while back as well.  It would really be great if we could choose the default file saving/naming options for Audible files like we can for normal CD rips (i.e. base path, plus folder and file naming conventions.)  At the moment, every time I download Audible content I immediately have to move it manually.

I know that Audible files "can" be moved -- it's a matter of having MC do it automatically like it does with other types of content.  This seems like a logical capability for MC to offer given it's robust approach to Media handling.  I don't like having ALL my audible content in one giant folder -- I use the "Artist/Album" structure with "Artist" being the "Author" and "Album" being the "Book," "Periodical Series," or "Performance."

Thanks for considering this,

Larry

PS.  As of the last time I checked, MC still had a problem with the Portable Device module thinking that Audible files were "missing" if they were moved while the iPod was connected.  Doing a "Recheck Sync" did not solve the issue -- the iPod had to be ejected/reconnected, or MC had to be shut down and re-launched in order for the sync to work.

Does anyone from JR have any feedback on this?  Is there any reason NOT to allow this as an option?  MC offers the ability to choose paths for rips and Podcasts -- why not for Audible files?  It seems like an odd omission to not allow this to be an editable path.

Thanks,

Larry

thanks...you guys usually are on it!

one more issue with audible...

i seem to get this frequently...as i am browsing audible.com within MC...i will get the "this service requires an internet connection" image.

of course there is no problem with the internet connection (it happened just now and i am now writing in an i.e. window despite mc not letting me browse)

it takes restarting the whole computer to resolve it.  (restarting MC does not)

i've had this on multiple computers and configurations, etc...never made that much of an issue to me, since i can always browse in i.e. or solve by restart....

....but is somewhat odd....and mildly inconvenient.  any ideas on that?

Swellguy,

Is this going to be incorporated into MC12?

Thanks,

It is in MC 12. Right-click on 'Audible Store' under services in the tree to change settings.

Wow!  I never thought to try that.  Did this get reported as a change in the MC12 build thread?  If it did, I must have missed it.

On that note, wouldn't it make sense to include this option in the "File Locaiton" Options page?

Regardless of WHERE it is, thanks for adding this.
