Part 1. How to Organize Audible Audiobooks

To keep your Audible library neat and make it easier to find what you want to listen to, you can manage your library by sorting audiobooks into collections or removing those you no longer need.

Option 1: Manage Audiobooks

1. Go to the Audible website on your desktop and log in to your account.
2. Click on "Library" at the top of the page to see all your audiobooks.
3. Sort your audiobooks by title, author, or date added using the options at the top of your library.
4. On the menu bar, click "Collections," then "Create your first collection" or "New Collection."



5. Name your collection and enter a description, and then add audiobooks by going to titles and selecting the "Add to Collection" option.



6. Select the specific collection.
7. Edit, rename, or delete collections as needed to keep your library organized.

Option 2: Remove Audiobooks

1. Log in to the Audible website or open the Audible app and navigate to "Library."
2. Find the audiobook you want to remove by browsing or using the search bar.
3. Hover over the audiobook cover, click the three dots (more options), and select "Remove" (Web for titles) or "Remove from Device" (Mobile for downloads).

Part 2. How to Archive Audible Audiobooks

Archiving your Audible audiobooks allows you to hide them from your main library without permanently deleting them. This is a useful feature if you want to keep your library clean and focused on the audiobooks you're currently interested in, while still being able to access archived titles later.

1. Launch the Audible app on your mobile device and ensure you're logged in.
2. Tap on "Library" at the bottom of the screen to view your audiobooks.
3. Browse or use the search function to find the audiobook you want to archive.
4. Tap the three dots (more options) next to the audiobook's title.
5. From the menu that appears, select "Archive." The audiobook will be removed from the main view of your library but remains in your account.
6. To view archived audiobooks, go to the "Archived" section of your library, where you can unarchive and restore them to your main library at any time.

Part 4. How to Download or Convert Audible Audiobooks

If you prefer offline listening on different devices, you can easily download audiobooks directly from Audible, but the format may vary depending on the device. Additionally, if you want to listen to your audiobooks on non-Audible-supported players, you can convert them to MP3 or other formats.

Option 1: Download Audiobooks from Audible

1. Visit the Audible website or open the app and log in to your account.
2. Click on "Library" at the top of the page to view all your audiobooks.
3. Find the audiobook you want to download.
4. Click the "Download" button next to the title. This will download the audiobook in an AA or AAX format (for web's downloads) or AAXC format (for Android's downloads). However, these files are hard to locate on mobile devices like iPhone as they are stored in a secure, inaccessible folder.

Option 2: Convert Audiobooks to MP3 or Other Formats

To listen to your Audible audiobooks on different devices, you might need to convert them from AA or AAX formats to MP3 or other common formats.

It works quickly—up to 100 times faster than real-time playback—and doesn't need iTunes or the Audible app to work. Plus, it keeps all your ID3 tags, making it easy to organize and manage your audiobooks.
