A Python script that retrieves your Audible activation bytes (your own decryption key) from Audible servers using browser automation with Selenium. The key can then be used with tools like ffmpeg, mpv, or ffplay to decrypt and play your own AAX audiobook files.
Use cases
- retrieve audible activation bytes for my account
- decrypt my own audible aax audiobooks with ffmpeg
- play audible audiobooks in mpv
- get my audible encryption key for archiving audiobooks
- convert audible audiobooks to drm-free format
When to choose
- you want a lightweight script to fetch your own activation bytes from Audible
- you already use ffmpeg/mpv and just need the key to decrypt your AAX files
- you want a free open-source alternative to commercial tools
When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained solution - the project recommends using inAudible-NG/tables instead
- you want to crack DRM on books you do not own - this only fetches your own key
- you need a GUI - this is a command-line script requiring Chrome/Firefox and ChromeDriver setup
