I would highly recommend. -- Amelia P. ### I bought this software on a whim last year and I didn't expect to get as much use out of it as I did. Great software for those who prefer to keep a digital stockpile of content for sanity's sake. -- James ### OpenAudible has been a lifesaver for me! I have used it often and it is absolutely worth the money! -- Kim ### I found OpenAudible through a friend a number of years ago. It has been a life changer. A great tool to download and listen to books. This program is amazing and very simple to use. Absolutely love it. Would 100% recommend to anyone with an Audible subscription. -- Brett L. ### Incredibly user friendly, self explanatory software, easy to follow. I've been using it over a year now and will happily continue to use it! Can't ask for more than easy to use when used so often! Thanks a mill! -- Helen ### When I signed up for Audible, it felt like I was stuck having to use a mobile device to listen and sometimes I would have to figure out where I last left off when switching between books. With OpenAudible I have been able to enjoy listening to any of my books when I feel like and with and device I choose to be on, plus I always know where I last left off when listening. It is also so quick and easy to use. -- Tobie B. ### Purchasing and installing OpenAudible was incredibly easy. The software does exactly what I want and needed it to. I've used it to help back up my entire Audible library and I intend to keep using it. There's no point in shopping around for an alternative -- this program can't be beat! -- Ryan S. ### I have an extensive number of books on Audible and also have only very partial eyesight making most mp3 players difficult to use. With OpenAudible I can get them put them on a usb and use on an mp3 player specifically designed for those with loss of eyesight, allowing me to still listen when not near my smart speaker. -- Nicola ### The best-ever audible library management app! -- Azeem R. ### Open Audible has been a fantastic way to get my books offline on to devices not traditionally supported by audible. It is simple and effective to use. -- Dane ### OpenAudible is a very user friendly platform to convert and save Audible books for times you are not able to use the Audible App to listen to your books. The support team is also very prompt and accurate in responding to queries. -- Shobita S. ### I used it many years and as long as I keep up with the updates it works really well. I can enjoy my book the way I want to. -- Anne K. ### I have been very impressed with OpenAudible, it has allowed me to enjoy my books when and where I choose. What spurred my search for an application like OpenAudible was the unfortunate intermittant failure of the Audible App, I guess my phone is too old for Audible to support despite my requests. Fortunately, OpenAudible has me covered, I can enjoy my books on my old phone for the forseeable future. Would highly recommend, 10 out of 10. -- Bruce R. ### This App is cool. I always looked for a tool to hear my audio book in my old car. This software does it perfectly. -- Mario ### Been using OpenAudible over a year now. The software is easy to use, navigation is logical, gui is clean and I have not had any issues whatsoever. If I had to choose between using Microsoft Windows or OpenAudible, I would stop using Windows. OpenAudible is vital for me. -- Rasmus ### I use a dumb phone on the weekends and used this software to get my audiobooks into mp3 format. Not only is it great its accomplishing this task, it also splits my audiobooks into chapters just how I specifically want them! Loving openaudible for my needs! -- Jasen V. ### I've been using OpenAudible for the last few months and it's been working almost flawlessly. After experiencing some weirdness with a single title, I decided to send an email to support. Within 10 minutes (according to time stamps) I had a response from support with suggestions. I could tell I was corresponding with someone who was knowledgeable. We emailed back and forth over the next day and they were able to resolve my issue in less than 24 hours. I understand that's a pretty high bar to meet and not all issues will be resolved that quickly, but I was very impressed with their responsiveness. I've been extremely happy with OpenAudible and I absolutely recommend it. -- Donovan B. ### Great product, downloads from Audible seamlessly. Does what I need it to do. Back up Audible files & use them offline. -- Enda B. ### I have been using this for a long time - allows me to get my Audible purchases onto my Garmin watch, which is otherwise impossible. I love this software, and it also allows me to ensure a backup of all the things that I have purchased (now well into the thousands of dollars) should anything change with Amazon, licensing, or the like. I now OWN what I bought, and I love it. -- Clinton W. ### I have been using OpenAudible for many years. It allows me to convert Audible audio books to mp3 file for my son who has special needs. He loves to read with the Kindle app on his tablet. He reads and listens to the mp3s I make from the Audible books. My wife is a quilter. She has an mp3 player, and listens to Audible books, as well. We also enjoy listening to Audible stories in the car on long trips. The car will only play mp3s, so we make good use of OpenAudible! -- Paul C. ### I'm a big fan of OpenAudible and use it to manage all my audiobooks, not only those from Amazon, but also my own that I save as mp4. Open Audible gives me a very easy overview of my collection and allows me to manage metadata. It's one of the tools I've been using for years :-) Try it out! -- Reinhard ### I LOVE OpenAudible! So easy to understand, download, and use, it allows me to have my books available anywhere, anytime, and on any of my devices. With five grandkids, I can choose books appropriate for them with no arguments about who gets to listen to what, when, where, and on which device — without costing me hundreds of dollars at the bookstore. Being able to listen at their own pace has encouraged them to get the hardcover library versions and read along. Win, win for everyone! -- Colleen ### This has been a great purchase, its made our audible library accessible to our children who are loving the world of audiobooks through YOTO cards. Smooth and easy to use software. Best feature is that it automatically splits into chapters making the files easier to navigate and use. 100% recommend. -- Hannah ### OpenAudible as been indispensable for my SciFi space opera addiction. Love it! -- XP ### OpenAudible is an excellent way to be able to listen to the books you have purchased in the way that you like. It offers the freedom that Audible can't give you. 10/10 -- Fitz ## All Reviews ### So easy to organize keep track of your Audible library, and to know you have a local copy of everything you've purchased. Syncs flawlessly and super easy to search and sort by fields such as release date, date purchased, genre, author, duration. Also, downloads all PDF files that are included with certain Audible books - these are automatically synced and downloaded and can be displayed and sorted as a separate list rather than wading through your computers download files. Best of all, automatic syncing and upgrades and fixes each year. If you think of what you have invested in your audiobook library - spend a small amount to keep it safe, and most of all handy to enjoy without a hassle. -- Eva K. ### Works very well for getting your audiobooks in the format that you require. Would've given 6 stars if possible :) -- Michael ### I have been using OpenAudible to archive my collection for years. It is a life saver when I have limited or no internet access and just want to listen without worries of interruption. I can always ensure I have a copy of my purchases with me for those remote locations and trips. Love the product and the continued innovation. -- Mitch W. ### Tolle Software - wandelt in mp3 oder m4b um (kann auch in m4a umgewandelt werden - Hörbuchformat) und kann auch in einzelne Kapitel aufteilen. Das ist besonders praktisch bei langen Hörbüchern. -- A. K. ### OpenAudible is excellent! The installation was easy. Setting up your profile is done by the built in explorer in a matter of seconds. The software lets you download and backup you Audible titles, so you will never lose the books that might disappear from your library from time to time (didn't happen to me yet, but read a lot of posts from people who had that happened to them). It let you keep the file in the original Audible format and convert it to numerous formats (mp3, etc.). I'm very satisfied with it, I use it for more than 4 years now, and have ~180 titles safely backed up. -- Mor H. ### I have used OpenAudible for over a year now (it may be two). It has improved markedly in this time and, paired with my Mac M2 Silicon, it performs its task at high speed and seamlessly - there have been no errors. i used it to back up my audible library in m2b format through download and conversion - I have used others prior to this, but none had the ease of use and or the low cost of this application. Such local archiving is, I believe, prudent, as sometime historic titles vanish from Audible's catalogue. A great investment! -- Joanne ### Open Audible has been instrumental in organizing and managing my audible library in a simple and easy way. -- Johan H. ### Absolutely great app. Makes it possible to listen to audio books in my mp3 player while swimming or other exercise. Could not do without. -- Scott M. ### This app is Amazing! Over 15 years of Audible membership I've built a library of nearly 600 books. Backing up in a format that was easy to use anywhere was always a problem due to the Audible DRM. I found out about OpenAudible on a Redit post and immediately bought it. It's a life saver. I was expecting a simple point to file and convert function but the fact that it connects to Audible and your library and downloads everything blew me away. 10/10. -- Dave B. ### TL;DR If you love audiobooks, you need OpenAudible! Get it, relax and enjoy! Jumping into OpenAudible feels like unlocking the ultimate command center for your audiobook collection. Picture this: every single one of your audiobooks, backed up and snug in one cozy spot.

OpenAudible flexes its muscles here, letting you splice and dice your books however you fancy. That's ideal for omnibooks, collections, etc. Also, with OpenAudible your transformed library isn't handcuffed to devices that can handle the Audible app. Nope, it's ready to follow you onto almost any gadget you own, from your trusty smartphone to that tablet gathering dust on your shelf or your smartwatch.

So, if you're looking to backup, chop, change, and blast your stories on a loop no matter where you are or what you're doing, OpenAudible's your hero. Say goodbye to the days of juggling formats and devices; your audiobook utopia awaits. -- Jose ### Perfect for downloading and converting from audible all with one program. Just what i was looking for! -- Yannick ### I have used Open Audible for a year so far and have found it to be ideal for downloading and converting my Audible purchases. The main reason I use it is so that I can listen to my audiobooks on my smartphone using audiobook players (Sirin, Listen Audiobook Player). It is a simple process to download and convert the book using OpenAudible then transfer it to my phone. A wonderfully intuitive and painless piece of software! -- Tim J. ### OpenAudible is excellent -- Mrs B. ### I'm not very tech savvy and I didn't have a problem with setting this up and getting it running. I love how I'm able to split the books into chapters, which makes it great when I make cards for my childrens' devices. I don't know another program that works as well, especially for the price. I'll continue to use it often! -- Amy ### OpenAudible allows me to take ownership of the books I buy, and nothing beats the feeling of knowing your hard earned money isn't thrown away based on the whim of a corporation. -- Ryan ### I have used it many years. As long as you keep updating it works well and works perfectly. -- Anne K. ### OpenAudible is wonderful. I use it every time I get anything on audible. It gives me the freedom to play audible books on whatever media player app I want, what a relief. I hate being tied to one media player app. :) Plus, best of all, openaudible is accessible with voiceover on my mac. Voiceover is the screenreader on mac for the blind. -- Courtney C. ### Love love love this! Love actually owning something I bought, and OpenAudible made it possible. Very easy to use and downloads fast! -- Patricia S. ### How was the OpenAudible installation and initial setup? The installastion was flawless. I had never had a problem installing any update. Did OpenAudible meet or exceed your expectations? Yes! I love using this app. It makes everything I need to do so much easier than any other app. There is no other app that I would recommend. Can you tell us about how you're using OpenAudible? I don't always like to use amazon's app so I like to convert their files to mp3. This tool makes it easy to do that. -- Javier S. ### OpenAudible is a timesaver! With its seamless Audible integration, managing audiobooks is effortless. The stable software is perfect for converting your favorite books into supported formats. -- OrbitalTeapot ### I'm so glad I found this app. It's just what I was looking for, and I so appreciate the prompt responses to my emailed questions. It works very well to automatically download and convert my Audible books. I like having them as mp3s for backup. I wish there were something equivalent for Chirp. -- Shepherd H. ### OpenAudible has been a great resource for me. I have been using it for more than three years. It has been a wonderful tool in helping me archive my audiobook purchases. Installation was extremely easy and has worked like a charm. I greatly recommend OpenAudible to all audiobook enthusiasts. I have upgraded twice. I wish they had a lifetime purchase option apart from the annual subscription. -- CS P. ### I downloaded OpenAudible to access audiobooks on my Garmin Watch. The app has worked perfectly with no quirks. I can easily download the files and transfer them. I've used the app for my devices and my families. It has worked with seamlessly with a Fenix 5, ForeRunner 945, Venu 2s, ForeRunner 965 and Fenix 7 Pro. The audio downloads at the same quality and the app is easy and intuitive to use! Great product, highly recommend to people looking for an audible solution for external mp3/mp4/etc. devices. -- Kyle ### I love OpenAudible. It is a very clever software package that helps me to organize my growing collection of audiobooks from Audible (and other sources). It allows me to store the audio books locally and to convert them so that they can be used by other Apps (e.g. that can only use MP3). It is fast and efficient. -- Roland ### OpenAudible has been an amazing answer for someone like me who still wishes to not always be 100% connected! In my instance I use a Lightphone and the only way to get my audiobooks onto it is to convert my audiobooks to MP3 format. Openaudible allows me to easily convert my AAX file to MP3, and even better, convert into parts so that it can fit my limited memory space. Thank you OpenAudible for allowing me to achieve this goal and live a more deliberate life while still being able to listen to my favorite audio books! -- Kevin H. ### Did exactly what I needed it to. Works great. -- Lallie ### OpenAudible ist ein SUPER Tool. Alle meine Hörbücher von Audible liessen sich problemlos herunterladen, konvertieren und lokal abspeichern. Nun kann ich diese jederzeit und auf jedem Gerät hören ! -- Volker L. ### OpenAudible ist perfekt um meine Hörbücher umzuwandeln und mit all meinen Endgeräten als mp3 zu hören. Außerdem kann man eine Bibliothek erstellen und offline nutzen. Ohne diese Möglichkeit hätte ich mein Audible Abo bereits beendet. -- Daniela S. ### I really enjoy OpenAudible. It´s an easy to use software, installation and initial setup worked without any problems. I tried another software for converting audible audiobooks, but this one meets my expectations. I use it especially for converting my audible files in mp3 to listen to on my MP3-Player. -- Monika ### OpenAudible makes enjoying your bought audios freely and on every platform. You could say that once you have bought something it is yours but not with Audible! For people, like me, who want to own FOR THEIR PERSONAL USE what they have rightfully bought, OpenAudible is the software you must have. -- Nadia O. ### OpenAudible allowed me to actually treat my purchased audiobooks as though I owned them. I could all of a sudden, play them anywhere I had an mp3 player, and was no longer chained to the audible app for listening. For the price of less than a single audiobook, it actually let me own my books. -- Jeff ### I love OpenAudible. I have been using if for years and appreciate the access to convert files quickly without any hassle. Thank you! -- April ### Once I figured out how to use the system it has been so easy! This application has become an important tool for listening to audiobooks on other platforms, in particular Yoto box/app. A beautiful world of literature has been opened for my son -- J W. ### OpenAudible is the best software I've found to manage Audible Library!!! It's very easy to install and configure. OpenAudible fully met my needs and expectations. I use OpenAudible to download and convert my audiobooks. In this way I can have my books on multiple family devices. I think it's a great program that everyone with an Audible subscription should have. -- Alessandro S. ### Honestly, the best option available if you're serious about owning your own digital purchases. -- Jamie D. ### OpenAudible saved my a bunch of time messing around in my terminal and actually made the process of saving my library enjoyable. -- Lex ### I love OpenAudible! I'm able to download my audiobooks and put them in a format that works for my kids. I never would have subscribed to Audible without OpenAudible making our books more accessible. -- Wendy P. ### I have a library of several thousand audiobooks from a wide variety of sources, including Audible, which are impossible to manage traditionally without good software which can handle the variety of formats and accompanying files such as pdfs. OpenAudible is by far and away that software, able to accomdate externally sourced files as well as audiobooks from Audible itself - nothing else come close to it's flexibility, ease of use and range. And it's easy to use, forgiving of my sometimes clumsy mistakes and never seems to fall over. I'm very happy with OpenAudible - I only wish there was a similarly functional software for my library of classical textbased books. -- Graham R. ### I found OpenAudible a few year ago via a friend after I lost my audible account and all my books as I didnt have them backed up anywhere. OpenAudible is so simple to use for someone like me who is so tech challeneged and it makes keeping all my books safe in one place. -- K ### I found OpenAudible by recommendation of a work colleague when trying to find a solution to listen to my books on multibple devices I own. OpenAudible is so smooth to use and it makes managing the content very easy. I also like the software is very light and doesn't occupy much resources on my computer. -- Michael ### I use OpenAudible for every audiobook I listen to, since I like listening to them while running with my watch. It's just so convenient to have them in an universal file format! A bonus is that my collection is backed up locally. Love it, highly Recommended! -- Andres S. ### OpenAudible is the most recommended way to archive all my audiobooks and to have them available offline for my phone or player; without the need to use a computer to transfer the files. Best EDC solution with a small USB thumb drive. -- CHN ### OpenAudible was an easy install and setup. I'm using it across two accounts and it is seamless in syncing all my books. Conversion to mp4 is clean and gives good audio output on both my Android and IOS devices. Good product! -- Mark G. ### I have enjoyed using OpenAudible for more than two years. -- Orlando Z. ### I love OpenAudible and have used it for years. It's so easy to use and allows me to back up my Audible purchases and listen to them wherever and whenever. Highly recommended -- Gavin D. ### It is an unbelievably comfortable way to save the stuff bought on Audible for better mobile use and times after Audible membership. Just because of the better feelings in times where bought digital content may disappear because of license issues. It's a matter of convenience and better feelings. The interface is clean and in most terms self-explaining. Just a few clicks and your valuable library comes in. -- Ralf D. ### OpenAudible is an easy and great software. I was able to save my audiobooks and listen it at the Yoto later! Thanks! -- T C. ### How was the OpenAudible installation and initial setup? Installation was very straightforward — I downloaded it, entered my license, and my library synced automatically. The interface is intuitive, and all my titles loaded just as expected Did OpenAudible meet or exceed your expectations? I would say it exceeded them. I was suprised by how easy the process was. I expected a basic management tool, but it turned out to be a full-featured solution for organizing, sorting, and exploring my audiobooks in a much more flexible way. Can you tell us about how you're using OpenAudible? I use OpenAudible as a way to manage and study my audiobooks that I want to dive deeper with or spend more time on. It helps me organize things and revisit favorite chapters, and stay on top of what I’ve listened to. I often listen while reading along or taking notes, and OpenAudible makes that process way easy. It’s become a big part of how I enjoy and learn from audiobooks. Overall, OpenAudible has been great. It's easy, reliable, polished, and empowering to provide flexibility and control over my audiobook collection. Highly recommended! -- Gabe ### Ive used OpenAudible for quite some time. It is the best way I can think of to manage my 617 audio books. if you love audio books like I do this is the best program to have. -- Roy R. ### I chose OpenAudible because it can be used natively with Linux, not just Microsoft Windows or macOS. It installs quickly and just works. OpenAudible makes it easy to download and convert books. Even though they don't recommend separating books into chapters, I prefer that, and it is supported by OpenAudible. OpenAudible also offers perpetual licenses. If you don't want to upgrade, you can use the downloaded version forever. If you want lifetime upgrade, OpenAudible has that as well. If you need something to manage your Audible library, OpenAudible is the easy choice. -- David P. *... and many more reviews available on our website.* --- Total reviews: 462 --- ## Try OpenAudible Free OpenAudible is free to download and try.
