How to Convert AAXC to MP3 in 2 Ways [Updated]

Part 1. An Overview of Audible AAXC File

What Is AAXC File?

The AAXC file extension is the file format for Audible audiobooks. After June 2019, all Audible file downloads from Android and iOS devices are saved in this format. Currently, AAXC has almost completely replaced AAX on mobile devices. The AAXC format does not affect the listening experience of playing Audible books.

Why Audible Updates Format to AAXC?

The main reason for using AAXC is to strengthen the copyright protection of Audible audiobooks. The advanced AAXC format will protect Audible audiobooks from being copied to other players or devices. This means that AAXC files can only be accessed on devices that support the Audible app. It's more difficult to convert AAXC to MP3.

How to Open an Audible AAXC File?

To open and listen to Audible AAXC files, you should download and install the Audible app for Android or iOS. You can use your file manager to place the files in the directory where Audible stores downloaded audiobooks.
