Many audiobook lovers choose to purchase audiobooks from Audible.com. However, audiobooks purchased from Audible are protected by Audible DRM and can be listened to on limited devices and players. Wondering how to break the Audible DRM restriction? Check out Converting Audible to MP3 or M4B, which is the best option available. There are different methods to convert Audible books to MP3, but not all tools can preserve your Audible chapter information. In this guide, I will show you the easiest way to maintain chapter information while converting an Audible book.
Convert Audible with Chapter Preserved
Updated: The latest Epubor Audible Converter can download and convert Audible files within the software itself. It is unnecessary to download Audible books into AAX format first. Simply skip to Step 1 to initiate the Audible conversion process.
Preparation before converting Audible books: Download Audible files in AAX format.
Log in to your Audible account and click on “Library”, you will see all your purchased Audible books. Usually, there are two Audio quality options-Enhanced and Format 4. Please select “Enhanced” quality to enable all your downloaded books in .aax format.
Updated 08/31/2020: Amazon has removed audible format 4 option and moves to Audible enhanced format only at the end of July in 2020.
Note: Only when your downloaded Audible books are in AAX format will the chapter information be preserved when converting to M4B. If your downloaded Audible books are in AA format, the converted M4B file will not retain the chapter information. However, there is no need to worry about this, as all Audible books downloaded to your computer are now in AAX format.
Step 1. Get your tools ready

Hi, Why do I need to convert the same file in m4b and then, again into m4a - when Only the m4b file will contain the chapter information?
Even in your sample vidoe, you are importing the m4b file into your player…
?

Only m4b and m4a video will contains the chapter information. You can keep it in m4b format and the chapter information will be there.

“Download Epubor Audible Converter for free”. This is misleading advertising. Yes, you may be able to download this program for free, but you have to pay to use it. :-(

Agreed.
Although literally you can DOWNLOAD it for free, to make the damned thing work you have to pay.

The title will be saved when you split audible into chapter. For the image, do you mean the cover of the audible files? We will improve this issue in later version.

Splitting AAX into chapters does not work very precise, you will always get sound fragments on the end or the beginning of the resulting chapters.
