What is AA file?
AA is a file format created by Audible, Inc. It is primarily used to store digital audio book files. The file extension for this format is .AA. It is the only supported file format for transferring Audible audio files from one device to another, and is DRM protected. The AA file type includes information about the audio book such as chapters, title, author, product descriptions, and other metadata for multi-part audiobooks. [ ⏩ ] AA file extension
What is MDS file?
MDS (.MDS) files are media descriptor files that are primarily associated with DAEMON Tools and work in conjunction with other files, such as .MDF, to create a virtual file system that can be used for file and data storage purposes. Such files contain the configuration information necessary for DAEMON Tools to properly mount the associated media descriptor file. [ ⏩ ] MDS file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from AA to MDS?
To successfully convert the AA file to MDS, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.AA). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case MDS (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than MDS).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. AA to MDS. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting AA files to MDS files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension MDS, while before this step we had the AA file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new MDS file, or not.
