accessible audible converter

Hi all! I’ve been sniffing around for a good audible book converter and I thought I’d found a couple but neither suits me. I tried VI Wizard but you can’t convert a book to anything but m4A or m4B and keep chapter divisions. Audiamus only gives you choices of mp3 or m4A. I’ve asked for tech support and got the answers I needed but they weren’t the ones I wanted. Lol Does anybody know if there’s a free option that will allow you to convert your aa or aax files to flac? I know you can do wave but even flac can give you more quality than the original formatting. Sorry, I’m an incurable audio snob. Lol Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. |

Can’t speak to it on Windows, but OpenAudible is pretty nice, and it’s cheap at only $20 when I bought it:

Oh thanks Buddy! Can you convert the files into higher fidelity formats like wav or flac and still have it divided into chapters? That’s what I really want if I can help it. |

Richard,
I am going to merge your request into the topic about an accessible Audible converter that was started yesterday and is ongoing. Please monitor it. -- It used to be understood that if you published and profited from a mass media platform you should also be responsible for its content. That idea is nowadays considered quaintly archaic. There is no real accountability, and almost limitless ability to post any kind of ridiculous and scurrilous nonsense. God help us. ~ Ross Goldbaum, Letter to the New York Times, Regulating Media: It’s Now Seen as a Quaint Idea, November 13, 2022 |

What is the status of Switch audio converter these days. It may of course only end up with mp3s, but I guess you could use a very high bit rate?

I'm assuming thes books are protected by DRM, Unless you can get around that often you are stuck with the native player.

Switch won't convert Audible files, which are proprietary.

This subject is off topic;- No, it's not, at least not as initially stated. Questions about what software in a given class is accessible with NVDA are entirely on-topic. As we all know, there is often software for a given purpose that's great if you're sighted, but an accessibility nightmare. Discussing the mechanics of using that software, which is about that software, not NVDA, is not. The Chat Subgroup should be used for hot and heavy discussions regarding the how-tos of a specific piece of software. -- It used to be understood that if you published and profited from a mass media platform you should also be responsible for its content.

Ok
I know of 2 audible converters.
Inaudible is accessible with nvda and it is free.. I use it about once a month. Basicly I convert books to mp3 files and chapterize them. You can convert to many other formats. The set up page for the program is quite extensive.
Open Audible is more features for downloading, organizing and converting your audible library. I have not useb it, but I know screenreaderusers who do. I think it costs about 20 or 30 bucks.
