I can enjoy my book the way I want to. -- Anne K. ### 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 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. ### 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. ### 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 ### 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. ### Great product, downloads from Audible seamlessly. Does what I need it to do. Back up Audible files & use them offline. -- Enda B. ### OpenAudible as been indispensable for my SciFi space opera addiction. Love it! -- XP ### 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. ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 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. ### OpenAudible has been a lifesaver for me! I have used it often and it is absolutely worth the money! -- Kim ### 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 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 ### 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'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 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. ### 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 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 enjoyed the flexibility of this program -- Peter 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. ### 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 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. ## All Reviews ### I've been using OpenAudible for a longer time now, and I'm really happy with it. The installation and initial setup were very easy, and the software met or exceeded my expectations. I was looking for a way to download my audiobook library from Audible so that I could listen to them on my phone and other devices. OpenAudible made this process really easy. I just connected my Audible account to OpenAudible, and it was able to find all of my audiobooks. I was able to download them in MP3 format, which is the most common format for audiobooks. I'm now able to listen to my audiobooks on my phone, my tablet, and my computer. I can also transfer them to my MP3 player. This has been really convenient, and I'm glad I found OpenAudible. Here are some of the things I like about OpenAudible: It's easy to use. It's very fast. It can download audiobooks in MP3 format. It can split audiobooks into chapters. It can preserve ID3 tags. I would definitely recommend OpenAudible to anyone who wants to download their audiobook library from Audible. It's a great way to listen to your audiobooks on any device. Here are some additional thoughts about how I'm using OpenAudible: I use it to listen to audiobooks on my phone while I'm commuting or working out. I use it to listen to audiobooks on my tablet while I'm reading or relaxing. I use it to transfer audiobooks to my MP3 player so that I can listen to them on the go. I'm really happy with OpenAudible, and I think it's a great tool for anyone who wants to listen to their audiobooks on multiple devices. I hope this testimonial is helpful! -- Nikolaus ### OpenAudible has been bringing us great joy for years. It is an exceptionally sustainable tool because it allows many of my older devices, such as the iPod, to continue playing audiobooks smoothly and without any issues. Another huge advantage is that, since I have multiple Audible accounts worldwide, OpenAudible gives me a clear and unified overview of my entire audiobook library again. -- Dana W. ### What a great app. Being able to download my Audible library is the only reason why I subscribe to Audible, and this app is the best way to download all of your Audible purchases. I love all the features and options and the fact that this app also downloads all the additional PDFs. With one click of a button your entire Audible library is safe and sound on your computer. Thank you for developing this app. Every Audible customer should have this app. The only thing that I would wish for is a PDF version of the OpenAudible Documentation. Other than that this app is a god send. -- Angel ### Open Audible has been instrumental in organizing and managing my audible library in a simple and easy way. -- Johan H. ### 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. ### 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. ### Great App, I use it to put my audio books on my phone when I go for a run, easy and fast and I use it almost every day! -- Roffelos ### OpenAudible is an easy and great software. I was able to save my audiobooks and listen it at the Yoto later! Thanks! -- T C. ### great product! stable and easy to use -- Daniel A. ### 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 ### I love OpenAudible. I have purchased it twice and it has been amazing. It is easy to use, it downloads my books in different formats such as MP3 and M4B. I use OpenAudible to download my Audible books onto my computer then I put them on my underwater mp3 player so I can listen to books while I swim. I have been using OpenAudible for years and its help me be more active and lose weight swimming. Thank you OpenAudible. -- Richard K. ### 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. ### OpenAudible has been invaluable as I try to backup cloud-based media. I have been able to download all of my purchased audiobooks for backup and/or future use. Definitely worth the upgrade. -- Bradley ### 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 ### OpenAudible has been a lifesaver! When I first used it I was impressed with how quickly and easily it downloaded and converted my Audible library. But for the past few months it's been even better - I haven't been able to log into my Audible account on my phone (and the Amazon helpdesk has been useless), so I can't download any books I buy. But thanks to OpenAudible I can download new audiobooks on my laptop, drag them into OpenAudible and almost before I know it, they're converted and I can listen to them on my phone. Thank you OpenAudible! -- Jen ### I've used this for prob over 3 years now. Nice and easy to use. No plans to stop using it anytime soon. -- Claire ### OpenAudible is wonderful. It has presented no problems syncing with my library and converting the books to mp3 format. This has allowed me to use my favorite players on Android, Windows, and Linux to listen and organize my books. I have run OpenAudible on both Windows 10 and Fedora Linux. Installation and connecting the account are simple. With the annual license being less than the cost of the average audio book, it is a real no-brainer. -- AB ### I am very, very pleased with OpenAudible. It is easy to use, and it works great. I have been using it to manage the audiobook collection of my family, from littles to adults. It lets me have the freedom to share what and when I want to, and we don't have to worry about pesky accounts. Total freedom. Not only that, I have purchased many books from Audible over the years, some from so long ago that I don't have the email anymore. This lets me keep access to them when I'd have lost them a long time ago. Great purchase, and totally worth it. -- Clay M. ### The best audiobooks manager I've ever tried! Easy to download and install, supports multiple libraries, conversion to mp3 or m4a, downloads content for offline listening, plus it creates a web page with all my audiobooks, to name a few of its characteristics. I have an extensive collection of audiobooks and OpenAudible has made it easy to find what I want to listen to anytime, withouth having to navigate multiple pages in my official library website. -- Eirini ### I'm a huge fan of Open Audible! Being able to transfer audible books to an mp3 player so my child can listen without having access to screens is amazing. Thank you! -- S K. ### I really appreciate how OpenAudible makes it possible for me to backup my Audible purchases and share my books with friends & family. -- Mitch O. ### Great product, definitely recommend to any one with audible. -- Michael ### OpenAudible allows me to do exactly what I was trying to do with surprising ease: in an instant I downloaded and converted all my audiobooks. I then loaded them onto my smartphone and read them on the go with my favorite player which I control with the remote controls of the earphones. Truly a well done program. Soory for my English! -- Marco ### Being an Audible customer for over eight years now, I wanted to backup my purchases and store them for a couple of weeks where I would not have internet connectivity. So I searched online and found openAudible. Though taking some time in the end every book was downloaded, split into chapters and saved offline. The perfect tool for digital detox! -- Dennis ### I've found this app invaluable in being able to transfer my purchased Audible content onto MP3 cards/playlists readable by my young son's Yoto Player. Its great! -- Zoe V. ### Excellent. Allows me to conintue to use my old ipod and car kit to listen to audible whilst itunes has stopped support. -- Rob R. ### Awesome Software Sometimes the official Audible app is buggy, and I just want to have my files locally. Well. thank you openaudible! Very easy to use! -- sammy c. ### OpenAudible is one of my favorite and most useful apps. It was simple to install and set up and now I can make backups of my audiobooks and put copies on my kids' MP3 which wouldn't normally be able to play them. -- Dean W. ### Great working app for making a backup of your audiobooks. Fast, stable, and reliable. Easy to use, naming conventions are convenient. It is difficult to actually write more praise when the software just works as advertised. -- Martyn S. ### Works perfectly for devices that don't natively support listening to Audible files. Highly Recommended! -- Aly ### Very, very good app. I can't recommend it enough. It's extremely easy to install (as a Linux user that's appreciated), full featured and robust. It's a breeze to use. As you may or may not be aware, you shouldn't expect your digital library to be available in perpetuity, why be tied to an internet connection to listen to a book or podcast. This tool has you covered. -- Marcus ### I really like OpenAudible - since I am a "very old" person who still likes his old MP3 clip-on player. And because I won't like to miss my podcasts by using such a "dumb" device, I tried OpenAudible and it does the job very well. -- Jan ### I honestly do not know what I would do without OpenAudible to manage my audiobooks. The interface is clean, easy to navigate and use. For a long time I relied on Calibre, but was never fully pleased. I no longer have to deal with that! -- Cale ### OpenAudible is great. It allows for me to make offline backups of my books that I can keep on my servers in case something happens to Audible or my account. -- Wesley M. ### OpenAudible: Works perfectly for devices that don't natively support listening to Audible files. Highly Recommended! This is the best!!! #OpenAudible -- alessandro ### I’ve been using OpenAudible for converting my Audible library for use on non-Audible devices, and it’s great — especially for getting audiobooks onto my mam’s streaming device without hassle. What this software does really well is give you control and flexibility over your purchased Audible content in a way the official app doesn’t. -- CATHY ### This worked extremely well to get my Audible Kids purchases onto Yoto cards. My kids say thank you! -- Hannah C. ### 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. ### 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. ### We convert all our Audible books because we listen en route to remote places in the outback (Australia) and want the convenience of using devices that don't support Audible. OpenAudible has been an absolute Godsend! I recommend it to all friends and family. -- Tess M. ### Absolutely amazing! I love the ease of use with this application and appreciate the peace of mind I have when it comes to saving audio books I've purchased. I love that I can download them to use outside of the app, and have control over where I can listen to the audio books I've paid money for. Thanks so much for an awesome program! -- Kaylee ### Love OpenAudible!! Love being able to listen to my purchased books while being offline!! -- Stephanie P. ### I absolutely love OpenAudible! Audible does not have an official app for my Galaxy Watch, so if I want to listen to my books off of my watch during my morning run, I'm out of luck. Or I would've been, but luckily, OpenAudible allows me to convert the books to MP3 files, which I can then play off of the watch. Definitely worth the purchase! -- Raj ### I love having all my audio books on my computer. -- Sarah ### I have been using OpenAudible for a few years now, and it's simply outstanding! I purchase most of my audiobooks through Audible, but I hate their app! Thanks to OpenAudible, I don't have to suffer with it anymore, and I can move those books to any app of my choosing! That makes me happy. Thank you so much! -- Faris ### very easy to use and functional product that does exactly what it says on the tin. -- anon ### OpenAudible has been invaluable for me by allowing me to transfer my daughter's audio books onto her bedtime story player. I'd looked at different solutions, but OpenAudible was by far the most cost-effective and does exactly what I need it to. Added bonus of being able to see all my books in one place, including my wife's audio collection. Thanks OpenAudible! -- Chris E. ### Easy to navigate! Works awesomely! -- Emma O. ### 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 ### Open Audible has been a lifesaver for converting and organizing Yoto cards for my children. My favorite feature is the ability to split large audiobook files into chapters so my little ones don't get too overwhelmed. -- Lindsey E. *... and many more reviews available on our website.* --- Total reviews: 461 --- ## Try OpenAudible Free OpenAudible is free to download and try.
