7.2 Audible Books
Your Trek can play Audible books in the Enhanced Audio books format (.a-a-x). To be able to play
Audible books, you will need to activate your Trek with Audible using a software called Audible
Manager. You will need to download the Audible Manager from the Audible website to proceed.
7.2.1 Activating your Trek with Audible
After installing Audible Manager, connect your Trek to your computer using the long USB cable
making sure your Trek is OFF when you plug it in. Once it is plugged in, turn your Trek ON and
wait a few moments for your computer to detect your device. You now need to activate your Trek
using the Audible Manager software. You can learn more about the Audible Manager software in
the help section of the Audible website.
When Audible Manager activates the Trek, it will create a new reserved folder named $VRAudible
in the root of the Trek SD card. It will place a hidden system (.SYS) activation file in that $VRAudible
folder which must not be deleted. If you want to save Audible books on multiple SD cards you, will
need to activate each SD card separately. All Audible books must also be saved in this $VRAudible
folder.
7.2.2 Book Transfer
To transfer Audible books you may either use the Audible Manager with the Trek connected or use
Windows Explorer to transfer the .aax Audible book file from the Audible downloads folder on your
computer directly to the $VRAudible folder on the SD card. If you use Windows Explorer for the file
transfer, you can take advantage of the faster transfer speed of your computer card reader. If you
choose to transfer books with Audible Manager you must always connect the Trek to the computer.
7.2.3 Audible Structure
Simply place your Audible books in the $VRAudible folder. They must not be placed in subfolders.
7.2.4 Audible Characteristics
Bookshelf Browse: Use keys 4 and 6 to move between each Audible book file or Go To Book to
jump to a specified book number. Use key 3 to Delete the Book. To confirm deletion, press the
Confirm key or any other key to cancel.
Reading: Use keys 2 and 8 to navigate by the heading marks provided in the Audible book or by
selected Time Jumps. Go to Heading and Go To Time are available.
INFO Key 0: Reports info for the current Audible file.
Where Am I: Reports current reading position in the Audible file. Press twice within 10 seconds to
report additional information about the Audible book.
7.3 Music Bookshelf
The music bookshelf is in the reserved folder $VRMusic. It contains a folder structure of audio files
and this entire structure is defined as the All Music book. Unless you create playlists, this will be
the only Music book. If you add playlist (M3U) files to the root of $VRMusic then each playlist will
be an additional music book. In the Music bookshelf the Delete Book key 3 is not functional.
However, you can delete individual files or entire folders from the All Music book once it has been
opened.
