Ondesoft AudioBook Converter
Ondesoft AudioBook Converter is a utility for converting protected audiobook formats to standard playable audio files. It specializes in removing DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection from Audible audiobooks in AA, AAX, M4A and M4B formats, allowing conversion to widely-compatible formats including MP3, AAC, FLAC and others. Users include people who own Audible or iTunes-protected audiobooks and want to play them on non-iTunes devices or media players. The app offers batch conversion, speed controls and granular audio parameter settings such as bitrate and sample rate.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find clear evidence that Ondesoft has released a native Apple Silicon build of AudioBook Converter. The most recent search results we found are from 2024 and do not mention Apple Silicon support, and the vendor's website does not appear to provide explicit architecture information. The app continues to run under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so an Intel-only build will stop launching at that point. We recommend contacting Ondesoft directly — visit their website and use their support channel to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version is planned and, if so, when you can expect it. If the vendor does not plan a native build, you may need to explore alternative audiobook converters that have confirmed Apple Silicon support, such as Requiem (if still maintained) or research other open-source or cross-platform solutions before September 2028.
