It took 3.5 minutes of my time to get it going (steps 1 to ‘begin’ in 6), then another 2 minutes to batch encode into mp3, for 5.5 minutes total. Time required to do the conversion is mostly waiting on the computer to process large files. Optionally, delete the wav files (both the single large and the small split ones to save disk space) – Done.Īt roughly 14 MB per hour (of mono 32kbps), I can get well over 40 hours of listening time on one CD. Specify mp3 attributes on ‘convert’ tab (my prefs are Layer3, 24000Hz, 32kbps, mono), specify destination folder on ‘folder’ tab. Split file by: Tools, Cue Points, Split file, (saved as small 3 min long wav files), Close, then optionally close the wav file.Ħ.Ğncode the split files to mp3: File, Batch Processing, Add Folder, OK. Set points for splitting: Tools, Cue Points, Auto Cue (my prefs are -30dB, 0.5 sec, 3min), OK, Close.ĥ. ‘Trim’ any noise out of the first ~0.03 seconds: View, Zoom1:1, left click just to the right of the initial waveform, Edit, Trim, then to get back, View, All.ģ. Either select 'all files' from the dropdown or right click on the file, choose ‘open with’ and choose Goldwave.Ģ.

When doing this, I’ve found that it’s nicest if the files are broken into tracks that are 3 to 5 minutes long. Unfortunately Audible doesn’t offer any means whatsoever of supporting the use of their proprietary aa format (modified mp3 I believe) on mp3 cd players like the Rio Volt.Ĭonversion to mp3 seems the best alternative. What can someone recommend to convert Audible Audio (.AA) files to WAV and/or MP3 format? Any feedback or direction would be most appreciated. : I am somewhat inexperienced in this medium. The constant updates like the on he has just done, which makes our use of it so much easier, re-emphasize the worthiness of supporting shareware ventures like this.īTW, if you find this guide helpful, I’d like to hear about it. It’s obvious that he is continually working on it. Find a way to get that codec out of there.įinally, I’d like to again encourage everyone to purchase Goldwave. If it plays, you didn’t fully remove the codec and you’ll run into problems. (choose to uninstall everything) If it doesn’t play, you’re golden.

If you are new and uninstalling the more recent version of Audible Manager to go back to AM 3.5, definitely try to play an aa file after uninstalling the recent AM and before installing AM 3.5. If you’re new to this, you can make your life a LOT easier with some of the info (Better File Rename, etc.) in the long posting (named ‘a thorough guide’ or the like, that lists a 7 step then alternative 5 step method) – Its worth reading. I’ve also had it not open because I didn’t have enough scratch disk space (set in Options, Storage). I tried it again, and it worked fine – no idea what was happening there. Once while using the older good/working codec I’ve had it hang at 99%. Occasionally, if the last cue point is at the very end and will make a super-short last segment, I’ll close out of the Cue Points window between steps 2 & 3, delete the very last one, and then re-enter Cue Points to do the split as in step 3. Sit back & let ‘er run, closing everything once it finishes – that’s it. Split file, choosing the name, the destination, AND ‘default format’ setting Cues (Cue Points) – AutoCue with your preferred settings.ģ. Open aa file and ‘Trim’ any noise out of the first ~0.03 seconds.Ģ. You do a one-time setting for default file save-as format (“Options”, “File formats”, “Default Save Format” tab, then pick mp3 or anything else) (my preferred setting are listed in the long posting).ġ. The latest version of Goldwave (5.06) makes it MUCH easier.
