Thoughts on how to take your library out of audible? (self.audiobooks)

I'm pretty sure even if you drop the membership you get to keep access to the books, but considering the amount of money I spent on them over the years I would really rather make sure. Anyone got the best option for saving you catalogue DRM free and offline?

Thanks!

I've been able to download stuff and store it. I've then put it through something like AaxToMp3: https://github.com/KrumpetPirate/AAXtoMP3

via something like: https://github.com/inAudible-NG/audible-activator

(don't know if it still works, it did last time I tried it)

Thanks, would be handy if there was a script to do the whole lot (comm'eer chatGTP ;) my next project I guess!

I've been using a similar script to aax2mp3 for years. Just point it at the files and let it rip.

At this point there are rainbow tables out there for audible user codes. I've been sharing a library with a friend for many years, but we occasionally get an aax from someone else, and the script we use just brute-forces the audible code.

Thanks so much, I'll give it a blast and I know who to come to if I get stuck 🤣

Happy to help! It's pretty straightforwards, though. Put in aax, out comes mp3s.
