audible-activator VS openaudible

Both apps require you to have audiobooks as files and download them in an accessible format. If you have audible audiobooks, you need to convert those to an open format first using something like AAX2MP3 + audible-activator

i convert ALL my audible files to M4B using ffmpeg. using this command line: "ffmpeg -activation_bytes xxx -i ab.aax -vn -c:a copy output.m4a", where xxx is your audible auth code. you can get your auth code by using https://github.com/inAudible-NG/audible-activator. i download the aax files on my pc from the audible website. work great every time.

I would encourage users not to use OpenAudible as they tend to engage in shady practices. They've stolen code from the original inAudible project and then released it as a closed-source commercial project. Users have complained about losing access to OpenAudible after upgrading: OpenAudible v3.3 upgrade warning/alert

You can use https://github.com/inAudible-NG/audible-activator, which is what OpenAudible supposedly stole their code from. And to convert the aax files you can use https://github.com/KrumpetPirate/AAXtoMP3.

It worth noting the OpenAudible folks “stole” the IP from the open source project audible-activator and have used it in their paid software.

But had success using:

Very cool!

My current setup is:

* Buy book on Audible

* Remove DRM with OpenAudible [0] (paid software)

* Add them to my AudioBooks Plex library

* Use Prologue [1] to listen to the books on my phone (it connects to Plex)

I like my podcast app (Overcast) a lot but it's not made for audiobooks whereas Prologue is. Also Prologue is a very well done app that has fully replaced the official Audible app for me. The only downside is no WhisperSync but I don't use that a ton.

Was it this https://openaudible.org/ ? I’m planning to give it a whirl once our mini arrives.

use OpenAudible app and it will convert it automatically. Works perfect for me.

use openaudible.org to rip and convert and then just drag them into Apple Books. easy as can be.

Check out OpenAudible, it's awesome.

Just use OpenAudible and you'll be good to go.

Then use OpenAudible, rip the audiobooks, and listen to them whenever you want!
