AudibleAir for N900?
 

Anyone know of a way to get this working on the N900?

Is it only possible with the Garnet VM?

Or is there anyway at all to get the .aa files playable?

Re: AudibleAir for N900?
 

At the moment Garnet-vm is the only way to play audible files natively. Format 3 is its best qauality.
If you want better quality or don't want to use garnet you will have to transcode your .aa files using SoundTaxi or by capturing your sound card output.

Right now using Garnet-VM is the most convenient solution.

Thanks.

Got it all up and running in Garnet-VM.

Any idea how to set up Garnet to have enough memory to download whole books? Or to access the microSD?

Re: AudibleAir for N900?
 

If you go into xterm and run the following shell commands your microSD card will be visible inside Garnet for storing Audiobooks.
Alternatively to use a subdirectory called PalmSD in internal memory use

Excellent... sorted it out and can see the "Slot 1" showing in the VM now.

However since enabling this I am getting erratic behaviour in Audible. Every time I try and click "Download" in the Online Library the VM crashes.

Any ideas?

I don't know, but it works and plays for me.

Edit: FWIW, I chose the first option he gave above.

Re: AudibleAir for N900?
 

Yeah I'm the same geneven, chose the first option for mounting.

Maybe its because I opened Audible first before having mounted the SD.

I think I'll start again from scratch and uninstall it all. Any way of unmounting the microSD so I can do this?

Re: AudibleAir for N900?
 

OK. I started again from scratch.

* Uninstalled GarnetVM
* apt-get autoclean (don't know if that helped clean it up a bit)
* Reboot
* Reinstalled GarnetVM
* Mounted SD card using the code by gowen
* Installed AudibleAir
* Tried to download... crash!

Any ideas anyone?? Before I knew how to mount the SD as Slot1 it wouldnt crash when trying to download, rather just say there was no space.

Is it something to do with the card and how its mounted?

Does anyone have any ideas how I can sort this?

Thanks

Re: AudibleAir for N900?
 

Two things to consider.
1. Garnet has always been more stable with small storage heaps. Try rebuilding your vm with a 4MB storage file. 2MB is too small.
2. I found that the download would fail if the screen saver kicked in. It's probably a side effect of the power saving.

As a sidenote I'm using a sub-directory of internal memory for my virtual memory card.

Re: AudibleAir for N900?
 

OK... brilliant gowen. Managed to get it working from the internal memory.

I think that was the only issues as whenever I even clicked download when using mmc it crashed. I wonder what the issue is? Maybe if I got it to choose a specific folder on the mmc?

Also, in your code, although using ~ works when making the dir, I had to use the full path when using the echo command for Garnet to see it.
