06/19/2013– Play Protected Audiobook on Your Android Devices

Most people like to listen to audio books while walking, driving or resting. How many of you have encountered with this situation below?

Got audiobook from Audible.com or iTunes, but unable to play the audio books on your Android devices, like Samsung Galaxy Tab, HTC smartphone, Motorola Xoom, etc.

Why Does It Happen?

Actually, audiobook on Audible.com and iTunes Store is in .aa or .m4b format which is protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) policy. That means they are limited to play on specific devices which are compatible with .aa or .m4b formats. Apparently, Android devices don’t support protected .aa and .m4b audiobook files, but only .mp3, .aac, .wave, etc.

What to Do with It?

In this case, the most direct and easiest way is to find an audiobook converter which can remove DRM protection from those locked .aa and .m4b audio books and convert them into .mp3, .aac, or .wav.
