HELP! how to convert .aa to mp3

by inbar_ - 2/18/12 1:07 AM

I bought 2 audible ebooks and turns out they are in .aa format which my mp3 player doesn't support.

I have found free trials of programs that will only convert one minute of each book or the full version which is usually quite expensive.

Are there any free programs I can use to convert these files to mp3?

thank you

My Philips GoGear Connect was under 95 bucks and has the Audible app. So as long as you have copy protected content to play be sure your player can do that.

Convert .aa to mp3

I always prefer to take the help of professionals conversion specialist to avoid any loss of data and to avoid further any problem.

I lear it from an exper may it help you.

In order to convert the files to a DRM-free MP3 format, one must import the .AA files into iTunes, create an audio CD and subsequently re-import the files off the CD using iTunes built-in MP3 encoder. It is a bit of a run around, but it gets the job done.

Converting Audible Audio

I think the difficulty in converting audible audio files into MP3 format has been deliberately created so that the audio files are protected and cannot be copied.
