Is it possible to put Audible books to standard MP3 so I can put them on a usb drive for my Nan to play thorugh the TV?

Also I have added an Amazon Alexa section to the tech area although I ended up putting this in e-books.

It looks like there’s no DRM if you download the books through Linux:

If that’s right, you can convert them with any converter. I use Media Monkey myself, as it’s a great organiser too

Thanks. I’ll give it try on the “Linux” laptop later while watching the football.

I’m offered an AAX file now on Linux which according to the original article is a DRM’d version of the file.

@tippon @drezha In your audible library at the top you can click download and change to something called format 4 and then download whatever in .aa format which will play in VLc. I still need to figure out how to convert that though. I have seen mentions of ffmpeg or the like.

@bdthree If you want, send me a copy of the file, and I’ll convert it with Media Monkey and send it back. It might not be until tomorrow night though, I’m out all day tomorrow.

Thanks @tippon I’ll try and figure it out first, no fun otherwise. Plus sending files any where could be classified as piracy and I will be breaking my own forum rules ?
