Here is my situation. I have downloaded a audible book form audible.com on my Win XP machine at work because of the faster connection. At home I have a mac that I sync up with my ipod. The Mac is on a dial up connection, so downloading would be a long process. I'm thinking that I could just burn the .aa files to a CD to take home to the Mac. The question I have is how do I get the files into ITunes. I don't even know if this will work. Do any of you guys have any ideas? Thoughts? Thanks

Just click file->add file to library and add it. Not a problem.

Just wanted to post a follow up up on my experience. I brought the files home on the CD and started up Itunes on the Mac, made sure that I was connected to the net while I was doing this. Went to Files>Add to library then choose the files I wanted off the CD. Itunes/audible.com asked for my Audible.com user name and password, entered it and the files were transferred with no trouble. I now have the whole book on my Mac and I-pod. Thank You for all your help.

Just a suggestion ....
Since your iPod doubles as an external HD, why not just put the files onto your iPod as files (not as audio, ie with Windoz Explorer), take it home to your Mac and copy off the files, import them into iTunes and pop them back onto your iPod? Save the whole CD burning step?

No Firewire port on the computer at work, so no way to connect the iPod. I'm working on trying to get them to get me a card to put in it. Thanks for the suggestion.
