What is a .AAXC file?
An .AAXC file is a type of digital file specifically used for storing audiobooks in an encrypted format. This file format is associated with Audible, a popular audiobook service, and is used primarily on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. The "encrypted" part means that the file is secured in a way that prevents it from being played by unauthorized users or devices.
The .AAXC file extension stands for "Encrypted Audible Enhanced Audiobook." These files are typically downloaded through the Audible app, which is available for both Android and iOS operating systems. Once downloaded, these audiobooks are stored in the .AAXC format to ensure that they are only accessible through the Audible app, adding a layer of security.
To listen to an audiobook stored in an .AAXC file, you must use the Audible app on either an Android or iOS device. The app is specifically designed to decrypt and play these files. This means you cannot use other media players or audiobook apps to listen to .AAXC files; they are exclusively compatible with the Audible app.
The programs that can open and play .AAXC files are: - On iOS devices: Audible app (sometimes referred to as Audible+) - On Android devices: Audible app (also referred to as Audible+) These apps are available for free download from the Apple App Store for iOS devices and the Google Play Store for Android devices. Once installed, you can log in to your Audible account, download your purchased audiobooks, and start listening right from your device.
