audible-activator

Audible will let you return audiobooks. They aren’t drm-free but with ffmpeg and the script to find your activation bits that can be removed. I couldn’t get this to work: https://github.com/inAudible-NG/audible-activator But had success using: https://github.com/inAudible-NG/tables

If you don't want to pay $12 for a GUI nor use Docker: 1. This tool can be used to extract your encryption keys: https://github.com/inAudible-NG/audible-activator 2. ffmpeg -activation_bytes XXXXXXXX -i name.AAX name.mp3

You can use this to get your activation bytes from Audible servers: https://github.com/inAudible-NG/audible-activator Or this, to crack the activation bytes in an existing .aax file, offline: https://github.com/inAudible-NG/tables Both methods are easy. It's then a case of using FFmpeg with an -activation_bytes parameter to convert to MP3 or whatever (or just remux into an M4A/M4B without transcoding). Tutorial here: https://www.kylepiira.com/2019/05/12/how-to-break-audible-dr... There are a bunch of other tools (both commercial and free) which use the above techniques but add either a nice CLI or GUI. The original was Inaudible itself, which can be found on your favourite torrenting site. Alternatively you can grab it from here, but I'm not sure how up-to-date it is: https://github.com/rmcrackan/inAudible

THANK YOU!!! I have been wanting to backup my extensive audible library for years but could never find an easy solution. edit: I have not tried it yet, but this script seems to extract the key from audible https://github.com/inAudible-NG/audible-activator/blob/maste...
