Do you have a link to this? My workflow has me using this program to connect to and download books from audible and convert/tag them. I think it works great but if you have something better, I am always happy to try other options.

Play audio books on android?

I'm using plex and Chronicle or Bookcamp as my player. I use AAX Converter and Book lib Connect ( https://github.com/audiamus/AaxAudioConverter ) to convert the few books I purchased on Audible. Plex Can play the monolithic file that is an option in AAX Converter, but I have had fewer issues converting into chunks separated by chapter.

[Tutorial] Audible DRM removal

Ffmpeg's decryption libraries are a bit slow however, and does not support aaxc decryption. If you're interested in command line decryption there's https://github.com/VarSell/iAmDeaf (disclosure, made by me), which uses AAXClean for decryption/writing, surpassing Ffmpeg's speed by miles. It will also automatically retrieve your activation bytes using rcrack.
