Unabridged Dark Force Rising and The Last Command Audiobooks at Audible

Maybe this doesn't warrant its own thread... but I know Iwould have missed it had it been in one of the General threads.

You might be able to get one of these as a free book joining audible.  My Dad buys audible credits by the doubledozen, so each one for him is $10.  I convinced him to sell me 2 credits to download these for me since the old tape abridgments are so aweful.

It's a bit of a trick to get them off of audible, but I made it work.  I found some instructions online which said to use Nero 8,9, or 10 (later versions don't work) and to use it to 'burn' an Audible audiobook.  Then change the burner to a virtual burner and you get 15 or so isos.  Then mount the isos one at a time and rip with your favorite ripping software. 

You could do the same with 15 or so real discs for each book, but why when you can do it this way.

I haven't listened to them yet, but I will soon.

Oh, HttE is on there, but is also commercially available on CD.  Or at the library.  As far as I can tell, the only place you can get the Unabridged audio for the other 2 is Audible.com

You can also get the 'Behind the Scenes' book at Audible, which I think is Zahn reading the margin notes that are in the 20th Anny printing of HttE.

As far as the legality of the above- I don't see any problem with it.  I did pay for the credits that were used to download the books.  Even if I did it through my account, I wouldn't have liked the idea that those books were tied to the audible.com mothership and if, heaven forbid, the site ever went Tango Uniform, so goes my purchased audiobooks.
