- get 2 free book credit
- Sign up for your free 30-day trial membership and give them your card details. It's free if you cancel before 30-days expire.
- Choose your books (go for latest tech bestsellers if you need ideas) and check out. Free.
- Choose to "Listen on my computer" and download audible's download manager. Download books from you account's Library to your pc.
- Once the books are on your PC, try playing them in iTunes or Media PLayer - it will ask for you Audible login and password.
- Now we need to take off DRM and convert them to simple mp3 so we can use it however we want:
First get these 2 files:
msvcr70.dll
msvci70.dll
Copy them to C:\WINDOWS
Then install the
Audible Media Player Filter
Alternatively, look for an AudibleManager 4.x installer as it included the same thing.
On Vista or Windows7, right-click on the installer, properties, compatibility, Run in XP compatibility mode.
After install, activate the filter (one-time operation):
Double-click on a *.aa file.
Windows Media Player will pop up.
Then an Audible Login / Activation window will pop up.
Fill in your Audible.com name and password.
Once this completes successfully, Media Player will start playing the file and you can close Media Player.
To convert the audible protected files into simple mp3, use dBpoweramp Music Converter.For fastest convert speed, get the "Reference" version and the Helix mp3 encoder.
dBpoweramp Music Converter
Helix m3p encoder plugin
At this point you should be able to right-click on any .aa file and the Explorer menu should include an option "Convert To".
If the "Convert To" option doesn't appear, go back over all previous steps. View the help for each of the installed apps and plugins.
Usage
Right-click on any .aa file, "Convert To"
Converting To: [ mp3 (Helix)]
Quality 30%
[Convert]
Notes
- While converting, a small window will pop up that says "Section Navigation" with an Audible logo and some "|<<" ">>|" buttons.
- Do not press the buttons in the Audible popup, just ignore or minimize it.
- It will exist as long as dBpoweramp is reading the .aa file and it will go away on it's own.
- It's part of the Audible Media Player Filter and is unavoidable.
8. Now you should have your audible book in mp3, free to use how you please.
9. So far, you were able to get only 2 books this way, now go to your member page in audible account, and at the very bottom of the page you can "return the book".
10. You can return the book twice, after which they ask a phone call. This gives you 2 extra book credits that you can download and convert to mp3 again. This way you get 4 free books from one account/card.
11. Once done ripping the all mp3 (not before, otherwise you wont be able to open audible files), cancel your membership and delete your payment details for extra safety.
11. Now, the best part is, that you can use other audible local sites to register with the same card, each gives you 1 free book and 2 returns: audible.co.uk and audible.com.au
Use the same procedure as above and it will give you 6 more books (3 per account).
Note: audible.com.au asks that you send them an email in order to cancel the free membership. Mine went without any delays.
As a result - you get 10 free audiobooks per 1 card, you can rinse and repeat with another card for 10 more books ad infinitum.
If it seems like too much work for simple audibooks, keep in mind that they are not available anywhere on the net and good ones cost >$15 each.
If you've found a good one, do share it with the BBHF community.
) so always looking for the best bits.
