How To Add Audible To ITunes

Check the Audible book’s format

Before you can add your Audible books to iTunes, it’s essential to make sure they are in a compatible format. Audible uses a special format called AAX, which can only be played using specific devices or software. However, iTunes does not support the AAX format natively. Therefore, it is important to check the format of your Audible books and convert them if necessary.

To check the format of your Audible books, follow these steps:

1. Open the Audible app on your computer or log in to your Audible account on the Audible website.
2. Go to your Library or My Books section, where all your purchased books are listed.
3. Locate the specific book you want to add to iTunes and click on it.
4. Look for the format information on the book’s details page. If the format is listed as AAX, it means the book is in the Audible format and needs to be converted before adding it to iTunes.

If you find that your Audible book is in the AAX format, you will need to convert it to a compatible format like MP3. There are various software programs and online converters available that can help you with the conversion process. Make sure to choose a reliable and trusted converter to ensure the quality of your converted files.

Once you have confirmed the format of your Audible book and converted it if necessary, you can proceed to the next steps of adding it to iTunes and syncing it with your iOS device.

Convert Audible to MP3 format

If you have an Audible book in the AAX format and want to add it to iTunes, you will first need to convert it to a compatible format like MP3. The MP3 format is widely supported by various devices and software, including iTunes. Here’s how you can convert your Audible books to MP3:

1. Download and install a reliable Audible converter on your computer. There are several converters available online, such as Epubor Audible Converter, TunesKit Audible AA/AAX Converter, and Aimersoft DRM Media Converter.
2. Launch the Audible converter and import your AAX files into the program. You can usually do this by clicking on the “Add Files” or “Add” button and selecting the AAX files from your computer.
3. Choose the MP3 format as the output format for your converted Audible files. Most converters have a dropdown menu or settings section where you can select the desired output format. Make sure to choose MP3.
4. Adjust any additional settings if necessary, such as the audio quality or output folder location. These options may vary depending on the converter you are using.
5. Start the conversion process by clicking on the “Convert” or “Start” button. The converter will then convert your Audible files from AAX to MP3 format.
6. Once the conversion is complete, locate the converted MP3 files on your computer. They are typically saved in a specified output folder set in the converter or in a default location.

After converting your Audible books to MP3, you can now proceed to add them to iTunes by following the next steps in this guide. Converting the files allows you to enjoy your Audible books seamlessly within iTunes and sync them with your iOS devices for on-the-go listening.

Import the converted Audible files to iTunes

Once you have successfully converted your Audible files to the MP3 format, you can proceed to import them into iTunes. Importing the files to iTunes will allow you to organize and manage your Audible books within the iTunes library. Follow these steps to import the converted Audible files to iTunes:

1. Launch iTunes on your computer. If you don’t have iTunes installed, download and install it from the Apple website.
2. Go to the “File” menu in iTunes and select “Add File to Library” or “Add Folder to Library” option, depending on whether you have individual Audible files or a folder of converted Audible files.
3. Navigate to the location where you have saved the converted Audible files, select the files or folder, and click “Open” to import them into iTunes.
4. Wait for iTunes to import the Audible files. This process may take a few moments depending on the number and size of the files being imported.
5. Once the import is complete, you will find the imported Audible files in the “Music” section of your iTunes library.

It’s important to note that if you have converted Audible files in a folder structure, iTunes will preserve the folder organization when importing. This can help you keep your Audible books organized and easy to find within iTunes.

With the imported Audible files in iTunes, you can now easily manage and play them within the iTunes library. You can create playlists, organize them into albums or folders, and even sync them with your iOS devices for offline listening.
