[TUTORIAL] How to easily convert Audible AAX files to MP3 on Linux

If you bought audiobooks from Audible and use Linux in your daily live, you're probably in bad hands: besides Audible web player, there's no client that you can run using Ubuntu or a Linux distribution. In order to listen to your Audible stuff you can use this Web Player, but what if you don't have Internet access in the moment? In this case the best thing you can do is convert your AAX files to MP3 files, allowing you to listen to your Audible stuff using any media player at any given moment.

So you're looking for a way to convert your Audible AAX files (.aax) to MP3 files (.mp3) on Linux? There's two programs and some Python dependencies that can make it for you: Audible Activator and AAXtoMP3. The problem is that you don't have a integration between these two softwares and for those who don't have knowledge with scripts, programming or even basic Linux, using these two softwares can be little challenging.

With this people in my mind, I've made a little script that allows you to easily convert Audible .aax files to .mp3. Just download a single script, run it with the correct parameters and it's done!
