AAX ( .aax) is the file format used for storing audiobooks downloaded from Audible. It is the exclusive audio book format of Audible, offering higher sound quality than conventional MP3 file formats and other types of digital audio files. The audio files are encoded with proprietary audio codecs that provide low bitrate high quality sound.
Features of AAX Files
The key features of AAX files include chapter markers, which enable quick lookup and navigation of different points in an audiobook. They also support images which may be useful for visually impaired people to access the content. Due to digital rights restrictions, there are no othrr functions such as fast forward or rewind for the playback of AAX files. Moreover, they cannot be moved or copied from one device to another.
Compatibility with Different Devices
AAX files are supported on many different devices such as PCs, Macs, iPods, iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets, Kindle Fire tablet and Windows phones. AAX files also work with most software programs that play digital audiobooks, including many music players like iTunes, Windows Media Player, and Amazon Music. Other similar file extensions include .m4b, aaxc, .aa, and .mp3.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .AAX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .AAX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .AAX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .AAX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .AAX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .AAX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .AAX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .AAX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .AAX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .AAX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
