Do you love listening to audiobooks from Audible Plus but worry about losing them if you stop your subscription? Books you buy with a credit or money are yours to keep. But Audible Plus titles are different. Even if you "download" them, they disappear when your membership ends.
Don't worry! In this guide, you will learn how to download Audible Plus books to MP3 or any other formats you like. Then you can listen to them anytime, even after canceling your Audible membership.
Part 1. Can You Download Audible Plus Books?
Yes, you can download Audible Plus books while your Plus or Premium membership is active.
Audible Plus gives you access to thousands of audiobooks and podcasts. You can listen to as many titles from the Plus Catalog as you like. You can also download them for offline listening on your phone or tablet using the Audible app. Downloading is easy.
How to Download Audible Plus Books for Offline Listening:
- Add the Plus titles to your Library.
- Tap the three-dots icon.
- Choose Download.
Does Audible work offline? Yes! This guide shows you how to listen to Audible offline on computer, iOS, Android, Apple Watch, Kindle, and more.
But can you download Audible Plus books like the ones you buy with credits or money? No. Once your subscription ends, you lose access. There is no way to get them back unless you resubscribe to Audible Plus or Premium.
This is why many users prefer the Premium Plus plan, where you get credits to buy books and keep them forever, over the Plus plan, which is more like a streaming library. To see a full comparison, check out our guide on: Audible Plus vs. Premium Plus: What's the Difference?
To wrap up: You can download Audible Plus books for offline listening while you are a member. But you cannot keep them forever unless you convert them to MP3 or another format. That's exactly what we'll cover in detail in Part 2!
Part 2. How to Download Audible Plus Books to MP3 & More
Since we know you lose access to Audible Plus books when you cancel your Audible membership, what's the secret to keeping them forever? The answer is to use a special tool to remove the protection and save the files in a standard format.
This process is necessary because all downloads use a protected Audible format (like AA or AAX), which ties the file directly to your active Audible account. To break that link and own the files, you need a software tool like ViWizard Audible Converter.

It can download Audible books to MP3, M4A, M4B, FLAC, WAV, and AIFF formats. It works up to 100x faster than normal downloads. After conversion, your audiobooks keep full metadata and chapter markers.
After the conversion, your audiobooks keep full metadata and chapter markers. You can keep as many Audible Plus audiobooks as you want. Even after you cancel your subscription, the titles stay with you forever. You can play them on any device, not just the Audible app.
Convert any protected Audible audiobook to lossless audio, MP3, FLAC, M4A, M4B, WAV, and AIFF formats with full ID3 tags, up to 100 times faster.
