well, this mostly worked. I couldn't open the most recent .itl file - was only a couple of days old, too - but could open one from last October, so I'll only have a couple of months of work to re-create. That's worlds better than having to re-do the whole thing from scratch, but still annoying. I'll have to go back to my audible library and see which books I've downloaded from them in the last few months, and add a few of the cds my daughter and I got for Christmas. It's better than nothing!
