OpenAudible

Audiobooks are a great option for avid readers who do not have too much time on their hands. Regardless of whether you are on your way to work, cooking or working out, an audiobook is one way you can catch up on your reading. OpenAudible is an audiobook managing tool that provides you with several ways to manage your library.

Join audio files and connect to your Audible account

The installation is a quick and uneventful process that does not require too much attention on your part. Upon launch, you are welcomed by a minimalistic interface that is unlikely to give you any troubles and it consists of a single window where you can get started by importing the files you want to manage.

Once imported, the tool displays all available information and metadata about the file, including the title, author, narrated by, duration, release date, purchase date, genre, rating, publisher, ID and state. In case you connected your library to the tool, then you can check out additional details like the connection status, region, books, hours, MP3 files, to download, to convert as well as the files currently downloading or being converted.

The program also comes with the option to connect to Audible, the famous Amazon audiobook platform. However, as the developer points out, the tool is not affiliated with the company and its main purpose is to enable you to manage your own audiobook collection.

A simple and straightforward audiobook manager

As far as the conversion is concerned, you can proceed to converting AAX to MP3 when grabbing audiobooks from Audible, but you can also use the import function for the files you already downloaded.

All in all, OpenAudible is a user-friendly program that enables you to download, view, manage and connect your favorite books to MP3 so that you can enjoy them across all your devices.

Audiobooks have been growing in popularity in recent years, and Amazon’s Audible is the biggest platform for buying and managing them. It doesn’t have a dedicated Mac app, though, and you can’t keep audiobooks from other sources in the same library.

OpenAudible is meant to make it easier to handle your audiobook collection on a Mac. It lets you download all your Audible books locally, import titles from other sources, and keep your library organized via automation and book lists.

You just have to connect your Audible account to start the process. You can choose which books to download, as well as convert them to MP3 or M4B if you wish. To make sure all your titles are backed up and available locally, make sure to run the library sync regularly.

OpenAudible is designed to help you manage non-Audible books as well. Just import any local audio files to add them to your library. These can also be converted to a preferred format, and you can even split and join books by chapter if necessary.

Lastly, this app can make browsing your collection more straightforward, as it displays each title’s cover and summary, together with quick links to publisher, author, or narrator information.
