Important part: Download Audible books to PC/Mac (Video Tutorial)

Step 1: Download audible files from site (.adh)

In the navigation of the Audible site, place the mouse over the 'My Library' option and click 'My Books'. Then you can find all Audible audiobooks you bought. Choose the format of audiobooks (Format 4 is best for a mp3 player) and click 'DOWNLOAD“ option.

You will get a file named ”admhelper.adh“. The file you download from the Audible site is always named ”admhelper.adh“. You can also choose your favorite audiobooks to deliver to your associated applications.

Note: Audible Manager doesn’t provide macOS version. On your mac, when you click the 'DOWNLOAD“ option, you will get a complete audible audiobook file (AA/AAX format, not the .adh).

If you are using MacOS 10.14.6 Mojave or earlier, the downloaded aa/aax files will be saved in the Audiobooks section of iTunes.

If you are using MacOS 10.15 Catalina, once the download is complete click on the file in your browser and it will appear in the audiobooks section of Apple Books. (With the release of MacOS 10.15 Catalina, Apple has transitioned from iTunes to Apple Books.)

That's all you should do when downloading audible to Mac computer, no need to continue the step 2.

Download Audible Download Manager from Audible official site please.

This application is must-have if you want to download Audible books to your PC. After you install it, you can open the downloaded file 'admhelper.adh'.

Optional: Use Audible app for windows 10 (or 8.1)

AudibleSync for Win10 Users:

Audible released a new app named AudibleSync for Win10 users which helps download and manage audible audiobooks. More info please read this article: AudibleSync--Audible Released New Download App for Windows 10/8.

Q: Can't download my audible book to my pc. When I go to my library and click the download button, it just links me to a part of the site listing audible apps, instead of prompting a download.

A: If what you used is Win 10 or 8.1, please use audible app but not the audible download manager.

If what you used is win 7, by default you won't meet this problem. But if you met, maybe it is because you are using the old ADM software, you need to update it by going to www.audible.com/sw
Scroll at the very bottom and look for Install Audible Manager
Then complete the installation process.

If still not resolved, I think you should contact audible support center (social-support@audible.com). It seems to be some glitch with certain accounts, if you reported your problem they will help you reset something in your account (updated the download settings).

Another new solution (update) here is that, if you had 2 computers (and different system OS), for example, you had another Mac computer or Linux, you can try to download your audible books on that machine.

Q: Is it possible to download Audible books on android or iphone, and then transfer audible files to computer?

By default, you can transfer your audible files from android/iphone to computer only if you can find them. But please keep this in mind that the newly downloaded audible audio books will be aaxc format (not the aax).

The left is to choose an audible player on your computer to listen to your audio books. Here I highly recommend you also have a good look at that article because it will also tell you how do I download audible books to iTunes.
