7. How to Use AudibleManager®
AudibleManager® is easy to use. You may play content on your desktop by highlighting
the title then clicking on the blue “Play” toolbar button. AudibleManager® automatically
imports all Audible®, MP3, and Windows Media™ Audio each time it is started. If you
choose to manually import files, click the “Import” tool button at the top of
AudibleManager®. Once imported, these files can be played back on your desktop
through AudibleManager®, and can be transferred to your device using the same transfer
sequence used with Audible® programming. The Otis™ is capable of holding both
Audible® and music files at the same time.
Transferring audio to your Otis™ device
To transfer audio programs to the Otis™, select the audio program you wish to transfer
by clicking (highlighting) the title. Then click on the toolbar icon “Add to Audible®
Otis.” The program will begin transferring to your device momentarily.
To transfer portions of an Audible® title, follow the steps outlined above. Before
transfer begins, AudibleManager® will display a pop-up box allowing you to enter the
time desired, or select the segment of the program that you would like to transfer to your
device.
To configure AudibleManager® to automatically transfer a newly downloaded program
to the Otis™, go to the “Tools” menu, and then select “Options.” Under the “General”
tab, select "Automatically transfer program to device after download."
To configure AudibleManager® to automatically download new subscription issues
when they are available, select the Subscription shortcut from the left side of the screen.
Next, choose Synchronize Subscriptions from the “Audible” menu at the top of the
screen. You will be required to enter your Audible® username and password.
AudibleManager® will contact the Audible® server to get a list of your subscriptions that
will appear in the Subscriptions folder. Click on the “Properties” button in the upper,
right corner. When the Properties window opens select "Latest Issue" under the "Deliver
to PC" box. The next time you open AudibleManager®, it will check to see if a new
subscription edition is available and download it automatically. If you want this process
to occur without having to launch AudibleManager®, you will need to leave it running in
the system tray.
To refresh the Audible® content on your Otis™ with new content from the same file
(such as loading the second eight hours of a sixteen hour audiobook), connect your
device and click the “Auto Sync” button from the toolbar. This will overwrite just the
audio you have listened to with new content. Your device will remember the point where
you last left off.
To delete audio programs from the Otis™, select the program you want to delete from the
bottom pane of AudibleManager® (listing all programs on your device) then click on the
“Delete” button on the toolbar.
