🪴 Convert Audible Book to MP3

I do this to load my Audible books in Overcast so I can have 1 feed to do all my podcast/audio book listening with my silence trimmed and nice speed transformations.

I buy the books I convert, and I’m glad I have access to the files without DRM so I can use the tools I want to consume them.

Had to install python3 via hombrew https://www.saintlad.com/install-python-3-on-mac/

Then pip https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/

python3 get-pip.py
