aax-to-mp3

Simple dockerized Node.js web service for converting an AAX (or AAXC) file into an MP3 file.

Usage

Install Docker, then run:

$ docker run -p 80:80 sebelino/aax-to-mp3

Then fire up http://localhost:80/ in your browser.

Convert AAX

Click the upload button, select your .aax file, and click Convert. The whole conversion should take 5-10 minutes, depending on how large your file is.

An MP3 file named audiobook.mp3 will be downloaded when processing is complete. If not, enter http://localhost:80/download/ into the address bar and the file should be downloaded.

Convert AAXC

If you are trying to convert a AAXC file, you need to upload three extra files related to your audiobook. The files will be named something like this:

• example-AAX_22_64.aaxc
• example-AAX_22_64.voucher
• example-chapters.json
• example_(1215).jpg

Click the upload button, select all four files (using the Ctrl or Command key), and click Convert.

If your filename of your AAXC file does not end with the .aaxc file extension, rename it.

Manual installation

Install Docker, then build the image yourself:

$ git clone git@github.com:Sebelino/aax-to-mp3
$ cd aax-to-mp3/
$ docker build -t sebelino/aax-to-mp3:dev .

Notes

Get checksum:

$ docker run -p 80:80 -v /tmp/book:/data -it sebelino/aax-to-mp3:dev bash -c "ffprobe -loglevel debug /data/sample.aax 2>&1 | grep checksum | sed 's/.*checksum == \(\w\+\)/\1/'"
