Audible downloads broken

<< < (2/3) > >>

Qythyx:
Thanks for the suggestion, but this didn't help in my case. The Software Verification setting was already off (I also tried turning it on).

I've tried re/un-installing Audible Manager a number of times, and have come to this conclusion: If AM is installed, then it properly sets the registry file associations for the .ADH files that are initially dowloaded from the Audible site.  If it is uninstalled then the file association does not exist and Windows doesn't know what program to use to open these files.

I tried associating .ADH files with MC, but MC doesn't appear to know what to do with these files.

I don't believe I mentioned it earlier, and I don't know that it is related, but I'm running in Vista x64.

Anyone have any more ideas?


BTW, Audible podcasts are working fine. It is only manual downloads that are not.

Qythyx:
Can anyone confirm that they are successfully able to download Audible files from the Audible site? If so, can you check what the .ADH file association points to?

I just confirmed that I can download files from audible via MC.  The file association for ".ADH" files is listed as "Download Manager for Audible content."  I DO have Audible Manager installed on this system -- this is a holdover from before MC handled Audible files on it's own.  My other system, however, has never had Audible Manager installed on it, and it also donwloads Audible files.

What IS broken, however, is the "Download location" for Audible files (highlight "Audible Store" and select "Options.")  MC is ignoring this location and downloading to the default windows "My Music" folder, which is annoying since unless I remember to specifically move aa files after downloading them, these files end up on an entirely different drive from the rest of my library.  This is a problem when I take a backup drive to another system in order to copy my library over -- i.e. any aa files that I forgot to move are missing.

Thanks lalittle. In your PC that does not have Audible Manager installed, what is the ADH association?

On the PC that never had Audible Manager installed, there is no association for ".ADH" files.  That file type is simply not in the list.

Is it possible that your problem is due to some firewall or other security setting?

Also, please note that BOTH the systems I tested are running XP, so if you're using Vista that could also potentially be an issue.
