# AAXtoMP3
|
2015-12-13 07:12:37 +01:00
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this software is to convert AAX files to a more common MP3 format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Audible uses this file format to maintain DRM restrictions on their audio
|
|
|
|
|
|
books and if you download your book through your library it will be
|
|
|
|
|
|
stored in this format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this software is **not** to circumvent the DRM restrictions
|
|
|
|
|
|
for audio books that **you** do not own in that you do not have them on
|
|
|
|
|
|
your **personal** Audible account. The purpose of this software is to
|
|
|
|
|
|
create a method for you to download and store your books just in case
|
|
|
|
|
|
Audible fails for some reason.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will need your four byte authitication code that comes from Audible's
|
|
|
|
|
|
servers. This will be used by ffmpeg to perform the initial audio convert. You
|
|
|
|
|
|
can obtain this string from a tool like [audible-activator](https://github.com/inAudible-NG/audible-activator).

## Anti-Piracy Notice
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this project does NOT ‘crack’ the DRM. It simplys allows the user to
|
|
|
|
|
|
use their own encryption key (fetched from Audible servers) to decrypt the
|
|
|
|
|
|
audiobook in the same manner that the official audiobook playing software does.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please only use this application for gaining full access to your own audiobooks
|
|
|
|
|
|
for archiving/converson/convenience. DeDRMed audiobooks should not be uploaded
|
|
|
|
|
|
to open servers, torrents, or other methods of mass distribution. No help will
|
|
|
|
|
|
be given to people doing such things. Authors, retailers, and publishers all
|
|
|
|
|
|
need to make a living, so that they can continue to produce audiobooks for us to
|
|
|
|
|
|
hear, and enjoy. Don’t be a parasite.
