Does what I need it to do. Back up Audible files & use them offline. -- Enda B. ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 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. ### 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. ### OpenAudible as been indispensable for my SciFi space opera addiction. Love it! -- XP ### 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 ### 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 ### 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. ### 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 ### I love Open Audible It is easy to use and quick to convert book and I can listen on app of my choosing. I would highly recommend. -- Amelia P. ### 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 ### 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'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. ### 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. ### 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 ### 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. ### 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 ### OpenAudible has been a lifesaver for me! I have used it often and it is absolutely worth the money! -- Kim ### The best-ever audible library management app! -- Azeem R. ### 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 ### I have enjoyed the flexibility of this program -- Peter 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. ## All Reviews ### I have greatly appreciated Open Audible. My children use yoto players for quiet time and/or travel, and this has been a very necessary software to ensure they have access to their favorite titles. Would highly recommend! -- Jessica ### OpenAudible has given me the confidence that all my audiobooks are safely backed up and makes it feel more like I own what I've bought (just like a real book!) and less like I've rented them. -- David C. ### If you like Audible then you are going love OpenAudible. This is a must have tool and it's a perfect companion for Audible users. It's incredibly useful and easy to use. There is no better way to manage your Audible library. I urge you to go try it now. -- John S. ### OpenAudible has a ton of great features-- auto-import, export to excel, and super fast conversions. Hands down the best app for Audible lovers! -- Joe ### OpenAudible is a solid tool for anyone who wants total control over their Audible library. Library management is straightforward and well-organized, making it easy to see and browse your full collection in one place. The ability to convert and download audiobooks is a genuinely useful feature that gives you flexibility over how and where you listen. Setup was a breeze and it works reliably. Overall a useful app that does what it promises — would recommend to any heavy audiobook listener. -- Mark H. ### A great tool for listening to great stories. Easy to use and efficient. Great product -- Tim C. ### Open audible is an absolute game changer. I work in an industry that doesn't allow cell phone use in the equipment but all equipment is equipped with a USB player. Being able to put book on to open audible has literally saved my career and brought my a little glimmer of hope while working long 14 hour days in the frozen tundra. -- patrick ### Initial setup was fast and easy. I'm using it to load my books on my watch while I go running. The feature to split the book by chapter is really useful - it's easier to remember what chapter you were listening to rather then at what time in a 10 hours book. You sometimes have to reconnect to Audible and key in your credentials. The inteface is simple but it does the job. -- Vincent ### Even though I am an Amazon Prime member and have families set up - my wife and I weren't able to share our purchases, including audiobooks for our children. We wanted to be able to use our purchased audiobook collection in the car and found a fantastic app called Book Player which has car play support. OpenAudible was able to take our purchased audiobooks from Audible and convert them so they could be added to this CarPlay app so that we could both enjoy them whenever we wanted! OpenAudible is so easy! I now plan to use it to convert these Audible purchases to mp3 and add them to my 4 year old's Yoto player via the make your own cards! Fantastic app -- Jack G. ### Used OpenAudible for a few years including the licensed version to allow me to convert to M4B. Has allowed me to play audiobooks on devices which couldn't support the Audible app e.g. basic MP3 player, car, older tablets. Works extremely well, very fast to convert and is intuitive to use. Much more effective than other solutions I've tried. Would recommend to anyone wanting to free their Audiobook collection -- Mark N. ### OpenAudible is fantastic for taking your audiobooks anywhere you go! I use it to convert my books to MP3, and then upload them to my cloud storage so I have full access to them wherever I am: on the coast, in the country, and anywhere in between. I also love OpenAudible's sort feature which allows me to sort by length to plan for listening while on the road, whether it is a short book for a short drive, or a book that will end at the conclusion of a long trip across state lines. I highly recommend OpenAudible for taking control of your extensive audiobook library. Enjoy! -- Michael M. ### The prefect application for Audible to backup, convert or even split to chapters (files) all your audiobooks. The support is great, very communicative and fast. Highly recommneded. -- Eilon G. ### Managing my Audible content across multiple platforms has been very easy with OpenAudible. The app just works. -- Florin ### Love the software. Always worried that if something happened to audible I would lose my audible books, now I have a mp3 copy of everyone. -- Stephen J. ### Exactly what i needed. I want to manage all my audiobooks from a single place on my Plex server. Using openaudible i can get all of them there with a lot of ease. Much recommended -- Samuël ### I can only highly recommend OpenAudible. I have been using it for years now and I am very satisfied from A to Z. The setup is very easy, the instructions clear – so no worries, even if you are a beginner. It did exceed my expectations by a mile! It worked seamlessly to organize, convert, and manage my audiobook files. The ability to convert audiobooks into universally compatible formats is a major plus and is giving me a peace of mind, in case some files won´t be available for streaming in the future. I primarily use OpenAudible to manage my audiobook library. It helps me download and back up my purchased audiobooks, convert them into MP3 formats for playback on non-Audible devices, and organize my collection efficiently. The program has made it so much easier to access my audiobooks across different devices without restrictions. Thumbs up for a really useful and well thought through tool. -- Andreas B. ### I decided to quit Amazon for good, but I didn't want to lose the books I had paid for. OpenAudible was easy to install and use. It's a lifetime license, but after 1 year does not update any more. This really isn't an issue because it already has all the features I need. If you are reinstalling after your 1 year is up, you will have to install the version you originally purchased. -- Greg A. ### I've missed playing my Audible content on my preferred mp3player for a long time, and I'm glad I've found an affordable, legal and very user friendly way to do so with OpenAudible. -- Gerhard K. ### 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 ### Using it for quite some time now. Great way to back up all my audiobooks and use them within the family without changing. -- Stefan F. ### Thank you so much for this great program. It allows us to listen to the audiobooks we purchased in whatever we would like to listen to them, as it should be. I absolutely love that it automatically loads and processes new purchases! -- Thaum ### I have an extensive audiobook library on my PC. I prefer the M4B format that works with my iPhone. By using OpenAudible, I can keep all my books organized in one place for easy access. OpenAudible is very easy to use and fast. I highly recommend it for all who love audiobooks! -- Waylander ### Installation and implementation was very easy. Linking to my Audible account took no time at all. I like taking multi-file audiobooks and putting them into one file through OpenAudible. I also use its file structure to simply transfer to my NAS -- Matthew M. ### I'm in love with the OpenAudible app! It's an indispensable tool for downloading and converting Audible.com books. From the effortless installation to its remarkable functionality, OpenAudible has consistently exceeded my expectations. The installation and initial setup process of OpenAudible were remarkably straightforward and devoid of any complications. The app furnished lucid instructions, enabling me to swiftly get it operational without encountering any impediments. OpenAudible undeniably exceeded my expectations. It adeptly downloaded my Audible.com books and seamlessly transformed them into diverse formats, ensuring compatibility across multiple devices. The app's user-friendly interface and comprehensive features contributed to an incredibly convenient overall experience. Primarily, I employ OpenAudible to construct my audiobook library. It grants me enhanced efficacy in managing and organizing my Audible collection. By its ability to convert books into different formats, I can indulge in audiobooks across various devices, including my smartphone and dedicated e-book readers. OpenAudible has unquestionably elevated my audiobook encounters, endowing them with unparalleled versatility. -- Vitaly K. ### The setup of the app on my Mac was quite easy! I was up and running quickly and I had access to all my Audible Audiobooks! The app helped me sort and download the longer books and split them into chapters which made the audiobook easier to listen to in smaller chunks. Definitely a must buy for all Audible Audiobook owners -- Francis P. ### OpenAudible has allowed me to use alternate players for my Audible purchases. Peace of mind that I have local access to my audiobooks. -- Aaron W. ### Exemplary support A reported program error was corrected immediately. The resolution of a suggestion was promised for the next program version. A proposed feature extension was promised down the line. Personal, individual, and competent customer support within just a few hours. -- Stefan D. ### I use waterproof MP3 player when I swim. So I use OpenAudible to convert the Audible files to mp3s. Some audiobooks are hard to understand, so I use OpenAudible to convert the Audible files to mp3s and openAi to conver mp3 to text! -- Boris ### Updated on IMAC with Version 3.9.5 - excellent update, the version is clean, easy to understand and fully functional. This is easily the bast way to manage a large or small library of Audible purchases and other non-Audible books. Great product, good price and excellent support -- Bob B. ### This software is brilliant! I simply could do without it. -- Benjamin N. ### I enjoy using Audible, but I also like my purchases to be my own, to bring where I want. OpenAudible provides this in an easy to use way. -- Michael B. ### I have been using OpenAudible for two years now and it has always worked perfectly. First I was a bit concerned it might stop working due to updates on the audible-side of things, but it soon became clear that the team behind OpenAudible was staying on top of any changes since it always worked without problems. To me this has been a really nice way to be able to listen to my books with other software on unsupported (old) devices an OS and also to aggregate my library, since I have two audible subscriptions in different zones. -- Ra H. ### I love OpenAudible and being able to migrate my audiobook collection to different platforms. I'd love it if chapters were exported as well! -- Sam O. ### Open Audible is extremely quick and easy to install and setup, including logging in, which features browser and non-browser options as well as legacy sign in. With a variety of options and conversions between formats, OpenAudible continues to exceed your expectations as the only software I use to manage my Audible books offline and locally on my device for backup, should my account ever be compromised. I've also enjoyed splitting books by chapter to have smaller audio clips for reference. -- Mike C. ### Openaudible has been great and easy to work with. It is easy to add my audible account, download, and transfer to MP3 files. I had to get a new computer and I was able to transfer my license to my new computer. Thank you! -- Stephanie K. ### I'm super very happy with OpenAudible. This worked extremely well. OpenAudible also offers perpetual licenses. If you don't want to upgrade, you can use the downloaded version forever. -- Vito ### Sweet. I love this software. It is so easy to use - a video tutorial of less than 3 minutes explains all you need to know. :) -- Kimberly N. ### OpenAudible is so much easier to navigate and keep track of audiobook files than the Audible section of Amazon. Manipulating files is also a breeze with this program. -- Peter J. ### I particularly like being able to listen to audiobooks on my old device, which has good sound quality and much better battery life than my phone or tablet. OpenAudible enables more freedom to use alternative software. -- Linda M. ### I like everything about OpenAudible. I have well over a thousand Audible books and to make sure I don't lose them I have backed them up with this excellent software. I also converted them to a better format, MP3, which was easy, and so I can play them on multiple devices. Also there are a lot of free but time-limited audiobooks but with OpenAudible you can download them and keep forever. -- Stephen J. ### Its just amazing.

I highly recommend it!! -- Luiz E. ### 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. ### Thank you OpenAudible for allowing me the ability to backup my digital purchases and to obtain a format which is not vendor specific and allows me to use my device and product of choice. -- K.
