Step 1. Download OpenAudible (v2.3.5).

I downloaded this app from openaudible official site, the latest version released is v2.3.5.

Download the dmg app and then right-click to open this app. I was told that the OpenAudible.app can’t be opened because Apple can’t check it for malicious software.

Then I click “Mac” -> “System Preferences” -> “Security & Privacy”, and “allow apps downloaded from App Store and identified developers”. Click on “Open Anyway” button and continue to install the OpenAudible.

Launch this app.

Note: OpenAudible had been free as an open source project for a long time, but now the available version we can download is 2.3.5 from its official website and it’s a shareware now (costs $12.00). Even though I downloaded the vesion 1.x from Github, after I launching it, I WAS told that I must update it.

Step 2. Connect OpenAudible to Audible and Download AAX.

Select Controls -> Connect to Audible.

Enter email and password to sign in Audible with your Amazon account (or audible account).

A new window will pop up, it shows our audible library. Close this window and back to OpenAudible window.

Note:

Select “Quick Library Sync” and wait for moments.

Soon all my purchased audible titles are shown up at the bottom.

Select one book and right-click to “Download” this title. It’s also possible to bulk-download all the audible books.

OpenAudible starts downloading my audio file.

When I see “Ready to convert to MP3”, I know the downloading completed.

Tips:

Step 3. Convert AAX to MP3 via OpenAudible.

Right-click and select “Convert to MP3”.

As what I introduced, now the OpenAudible is a paid software. If we want to convert audible aax to mp3, we must purchase a license.

Click the purchase link to finish one order and then input the license to activate it online.

Wait for the aax to mp3 conversion. Once finished, show MP3 then I find it.
