I set up Audible accounts, because my favourite podcasts had ads for it. Their pricing model is basically "get as much money out of you as possible". Monthly subscription payment, and when you stop, you'll lose all your audiobooks. Before I stopped supporting this usury I downloaded all the books via some scripts I found on Internets. The books are still DRM protected and I will have to use some other scripts to decrypt them. Fuck Amazon.
- jpalomaki 5y agoI had an Audible plan where I got credits each month and was able to exchange them for books. The books I got back then are still available for me even though I stopped paying.

- stolenmerch 5y agoI honestly don't understand. I stopped my Audible subscription years ago and I have access to my library of audiobooks purchased with credits.
- gjvnq 5y agoFor audiobooks, you can play them and use an external audio recorder. If you are into VMs, you can probably get a near perfect recording.
