Does anyone know if I can get any of the E Books on Zune or any of the audiobooks?
E Books?

I don't think so. The ebooks would be text, and I think the Zune is for audio, so that wouldn't work. The audiobooks are available at itunes and audible.com ... I think they use proprietary formats, though. Best bet is to just rip an audiobook cd and put it on there.
That, or check on audible.com and see if they have an unrestricted mp3 available.

Thanks.
Zune is Microsoft's version of the IPOD. I doubt ITunes would be compatiable.

Huh? I assume you're not meaning that he share his audio with others? Your use of the term "rip" is disturbing.
Wouldn't a better bet be contacting Simon & Schuster Audioworks and finding out if their stuff will be offered in that format?
I don't mean that at all. In Windows Media Player, you can just click on the "rip" button when the cd is in the drive. It rips (aka copies) the music or audio file from the cd to your hard drive. From there, you can copy it to the Zune.
I do this all the time with my cds, copy them to my computer so I can have the music on my mp3 player, without lugging around a bunch of cds.
Please do not misinterpret what I said up there. I am *not* encouraging anyone to do file sharing or anything of the sort. I'm only talking about doing this with cds you already own.
No problem then. I've only heard people talk about "ripping" a CD when they were talking piracy.
This may be another case of microsoft using different labels in different countries. In the US, since version 9 of windows media player, one of the tabs is actually called "Rip" and when you click on it, along with the list of audio tracs on the cd, is a button labeled "start rip".
I do not know if someone from microsoft heard someone using the term "rip" and decided to use it in their software because it was common, or if microsoft started using the term first and then it caught on from them. I'm guessing it was the former.
How do I do this then? Is it worth doing?
And Merry Stitchmas, Microsoft is on Windows Media 11 now.
I'm on an iMac at home. And I've never used the work PC to copy a CD.
"Rip" sounds like the contraction of "Rip-off" and it sounds... sinister, especially when it's the command to download a copy of a CD to a computer's memory!
That's good advice for anyone, really.
