Remove DRM from Audible Audio book AA files
---Some audiobooks, both free and purchased, and other digital content can be protected by Digital Rights Management software. DRM is instructions embedded within digital audio or video in order to limit how it can be used.
Audible.com is one of my favorite sources of great audio content , they have the largest selection of digital audio books available with now over 60,000 downloadable titles. but all audio from Audible comes as .AA files protected with Audibles own DRM. It lets you authorize up to 3 computers, and up to 3 portable devices. You can burn audible tracks to an audio CD only once. What's more, this proprietary file format isn't compatible with many of the portable music players on the market.
Thus, Audible DRM protected content will not work with hardware it is not compatible with, for example, I want to listen audible book on my Zen, but Creative Zen isn't compatible with the Audible Service, so it's impossible to play Audible content on Creative Zen currently.
