Remove DRM from Audible's audio books (Removing copy-protection from .AA files)

Audio books from Audible come with copy-protection. What if your player is not compatible with .AA format? What if you want to listen to them on any device you have?

• Remove copy-protection from .AA files using DRM removal software like Soundtaxi, Tunebite.
• Remove copy-protection by recording from your sound card using direct sound recording software like freeware sound editor Audacity. Like the above mentioned DRM removal software these programs record sound produced by your sound card.
• Remove copy-protection from .AA files by burning copy-protected audio files to Audio CD and ripping them.
  • Note Burner can burn DRM protected files to a virtual audio CD and rip them. It preservs ID3 tags for artist, album, title names, etc in the ripped audio files.
  • Nero 7 can burn .AA audio files to an Audio CD.
  • Older version of Audible Manager has the ability to convert .AA files to an Audio CD (using Roxio software). You can downgrade to version 3.5 and 4.0 and work with another software (like GoldWave).
• Use DRM free audioboooks

Do you really need those ID3 tags that DRM removal software can save for you? Saving ID3 tags like artist and title is very important when removing copy-protection from music files. And what about audio books? May be it is better to save some cash?

Although DRM removal software usually work faster. Besides many programs allow you not to worry whether any other sounds are played by your sound card or not while you're recording something.
