Easy Convert audiobooks of any kind to AAC
Convert .AA, M4B and M4A to unprotected AAC
Sometimes, there is a need for us to convert audiobooks to unprotected AAC format. Macsome Audio Book Converter can do us a favor. This software has the feature of converting audiobooks to unprotected AAC, WAV and MP3 format. When the output format is AAC, the original chapters of the audiobook can be preserved, while of course, we can also re-chapter the audiobooks by ourselves to our personal preference. So with the software, it is easy for us to convert audiobooks from .AA to AAC, M4B to AAC, and M4A to AAC.
We all know that .AA audiobooks from Audible,com, M4B audiobooks and some M4A audiobooks from iTunes Store are DRM protected, which imposes on us many unpleasant restrictions. For example, we cannot play these kinds of audiobooks on our Zune, Sony Walkman, BlackBerry, Mobile Phones and the like portable audio players. The software can help us bypass DRM from the audiobooks by recording them in the background silently, while at the same time saving the recorded audiobooks in AAC format. So it is completely legal and somewhat tactful for this software to convert audiobooks of every kind to unprotected AAC format.
