Re: converting audible files to mp3

[Kristeen Hughes]

Thanks for all of the responses. I thought Sound Taxi was only a PC app. Nice 
to know it isn't.

Also there is another app call Sound Taxi. I have not used it so I don't know

Re: converting audible files to mp3

[Sean Murphy]

all,

there is an app that will convert Audible files into other formats. It is 
called:

Ondesoft AudioBook Converter

Search for the app via google and you will find it. It was not to expensive.

Does anyone know of an app for the Mac that will convert books from Audible to

Re: Converting Audible files to MP3 [was Re: Audiobook Builder questions.]

[Esther]

Hi Arthur,

Is the issue a change in the Audible license manager or the release of the new 
higher quality .aax format?  The new format is supposed to also support 
additional features, such as embedded images in kids books, so this could 
affect all such conversion programs (from SoundTaxi, Macsome, etc.)  After your 
post I did some checking, and there's a review on Macupdate that says Macsome's 
product worked fine until the release of the .aax formats.  On the other hand, 
the latest post I read from someone who uses this and recommended it is only 3 
months old -- so perhaps this still works for the other file formats?  Also, 
Macupdate shows the latest version update from Macsome was released only 10 
days ago (June 21, 2012).

I haven't used the Macsome program myself, as I noted in my original post.  

Cheers,

Esther

Hello All,

I seem to have missed the question Arthur is replying to about directly 
converting Audible files to MP3s.  However, if you want to do this you can 
try a program called Macsome Audiobook Converter from:

http://www.macsome.com
This is not a freeware program; it costs $34.95.  They now have a Windows 
version of their program in addition to their Mac version, although I 
think Windows users have been able to use a program called SoundTaxi. 
Note that you must be able to legally play your Audible files in iTunes in 
order to use this software; it saves you from going through the steps of 
writing out to CD and ripping back to MP3. I haven't used this program 
myself, although I know others have.


This subject is different from Jim's original questions about Audiobook 
Builder, which I believe he is using to construct single, chapterized 
audiobooks from either MP3 files or from audiobook CDs without DRM. 
Accordingly, I've changed the subject line.


I'll also point out that the Macsome site has some free audio tools such 
as AudioSplitter and AudioEditor.  I picked up the reference to this site 
in a post Rossy made a couple of years ago about using audio editing tools 
to extend the scripts that the Italian VoiceOver user group created for 
text to speech audio files.  For more information on those, see the

Converting Audible files to MP3 [was Re: Audiobook Builder questions.]

[Esther]

Hello All,

I seem to have missed the question Arthur is replying to about directly 
converting Audible files to MP3s.  However, if you want to do this you can try 
a program called Macsome Audiobook Converter from:
http://www.macsome.com
This is not a freeware program; it costs $34.95.  They now have a Windows 
version of their program in addition to their Mac version, although I think 
Windows users have been able to use a program called SoundTaxi.  Note that you 
must be able to legally play your Audible files in iTunes in order to use this 
software; it saves you from going through the steps of writing out to CD and 
ripping back to MP3. I haven't used this program myself, although I know others 
have.

This subject is different from Jim's original questions about Audiobook 
Builder, which I believe he is using to construct single, chapterized 
audiobooks from either MP3 files or from audiobook CDs without DRM.  
Accordingly, I've changed the subject line.

I'll also point out that the Macsome site has some free audio tools such as 
AudioSplitter and AudioEditor.  I picked up the reference to this site in a 
post Rossy made a couple of years ago about using audio editing tools to extend 
the scripts that the Italian VoiceOver user group created for text to speech 
audio files.  For more information on those, see the English version of their
