Main Features

System Environment

AAX Audio Converter will run on Windows 10 and above. (Win 7 may still work, but only if auto-update is disabled.)

The application requires .Net Framework 4.8 to be installed. On Windows 10/11 systems this should normally be the case, if the system is kept up to date. On older Windows versions, the Framework may have to be installed separately. AAX Audio Converter will detect the missing Framework and provide a link to the download, automatically opening the relevant Microsoft web page.

AAX Audio Converter is configured to support high DPI monitors under Windows 10. It will scale properly when the user changes the DPI or scale factor.

Download

Windows setup package version 1.18.2, English and German, with manuals, plus FFmpeg executable:

AaxAudioConverter-1.18.2-Setup.exe

Manuals (also included in the setup package):

Dependencies

Audible account

Unless books are downloaded with Book Lib Connect - the recommended way -, AAX Audio Converter needs the user's personal Audible activation code to be able to process his/her Audible audiobooks.

Without Book Lib Connect, the easiest way to obtain the Audible activation code is to install and activate legacy “Audible Manager”. While no longer available from Audible directly, other websites still list it. With Audible Manager installed and activated, i.e. associated with the Audible account, AAX Audio Converter should be able to find the activation code automatically.

FFmpeg

All audio processing in AAX Audio Converter, including DRM handling, is carried out by FFmpeg. The AAX Audio Converter installation package comes pre-bundled with a suitable FFmpeg.exe.

For exceptions, please provide the call stack as shown by the program. For diagnosis of unexpected behavior you can run AAX Audio Converter with the log option activated. Zip-compress the log file and upload/attach it to the issue, but read the privacy note in the manual first.

Anti-Piracy Notice

Note that this software does not ‘crack’ the DRM or circumvent it in any other way. The application simply applies the user's own activation code (associated with his/her personal Audible account) to decrypt the audiobook in the same manner as the official audiobook playing software does.

Please only use this application for gaining full access to your own audiobooks for archiving/conversion/convenience. De-DRMed audiobooks must not be uploaded to open servers, torrents, or other methods of mass distribution. No help will be given to people doing such things. Authors, retailers and publishers all need to make a living, so that they can continue to produce audiobooks for us to listen to and enjoy.
