So Following on from that I though I'd add some additional information about the program once its installed.

Ripping
1. Select the source AAX file or files that you want to convert. Note, that if you select more than one file, inAudible will process them consecutively in batch mode.
2. InAudible will load the file and try to download some appropriate cover art. If you do not like the picture that inAudible has found, click on the image and it will take you to a folder with 10 alternate images to choose from. If you do not like any of those, you may browse to the image of your choice. If you do not want cover art, uncheck “Embed Cover”.
3. Select the target location and file name of the output file. By default, inAudible will create the files and folders in the same directory as the source file.
4. Click the “Other Options” button. Here, you can select the folder structure that inAudible will create for you. Note that Windows only allows a total path size of 260 characters and this can easily be exceeded if the book has a long title.
5. Click The Edit Meta Data Button to review and make any changes to the Meta Data, if multiple files are Selected you can cycle through each book by using the arrows at the bottom of the meta Data Editor's Window.
Encoding options
1. Select the output format and associated quality levels. Currently, MP3, M4B, FLAC Opus and Ogg are supported.
If your main requirement is the best possible quality the best option is AAC/M4B with True Decrypt.
2. Note that AAX files are encoded at 22khz, 64kbits.
3. Some output options will have a “Keep monolithic XXX” option. This allows you to encode both a single MP3/whatever file as well as pre-split audio files at the same time (the files are encoded in parallel). This is handy in cases where the splits turn out to be off and manual adjustment is required.
4. Leave Turbo Mode on.
Preprocessing options
1. Format specific processing:
1. If AAC / M4B output mode and True Decrypt are selected, the AAX file is decrypted directly with no re-encoding. VERY fast and totally lossless.
2. Raw WAV – output will now be split by Audible chapter points instead of 79 minute increments if "Split by Audible Chapters" is checked.
3. FLAC – a single, monolithic file is always created.
4. MP3 / Ogg / Opus – inAudible will create a separate file for each chapter.
2. General:
1. Splitting files, you have a couple of options here, 1. Don't split just out put a single file in whatever format you selected for AAC/M4B you will get a single file with all the Chapter marks in the file.
for MP3 you will get a Single file and also a .CUE file with the Audible chapter marks in it so you can adjust them by hand in tools like MP3DirectCut, Goldwave or MP3splt.
2. Split by Audible chapters – the original chapter markers are used to split the file. Sometimes, chapter markers for AAX files are inaccurate. You may want to use “Verify Audible Splits” which aligns the chapter marker to the longest period of silence within 10 seconds of the Audible chapter point, You can also Split by chapters using the Advanced Cutter and Chapterizer click the Scissor icon at the top of the window to open this option.
3. Split by silence detection for this option click the Scissors icon at the top of the window this will open another window which gives you access to the Advanced Cutter and Chapterizer.
5. Remove “Audible” clips will cut out “This is Audible”, “You have reached the end of a part…” and “Audible hopes you have enjoyed this program” from the decrypted files. If you use this option, you should verify the inAudible has not clipped too audio at the end of the file, as some users have reported this as an issue for some files.
6. “Auto detect Stereo” will read the first 10 minutes of the audio book and determine if the file has two unique channels. If it does, it will turn on stereo encoding in your output. If you turn this option off, you can manually specify whether or not you want a mono encode.
