audible-cli

audible-cli is a command-line tool for managing and downloading your Audible audiobooks.
It supports multiple accounts, library & wishlist management, metadata-rich downloads, and plugins.

✨ Features

• Manage multiple Audible profiles and marketplaces
• Browse, export, and download your library
• Wishlist management (list, add, remove)
• Download in AAXC or AAX with chapters and metadata
• Extensible via plugin system (audible.cli_plugins)
• Cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows)
• Prebuilt binaries available (no Python required)

🚀 Quickstart

Install from PyPI:

pip install audible-cli

For a faster, Rust-accelerated crypto backend (activation bytes, AAX/AAXC decryption), install the optional cryptography extra:

pip install "audible-cli[cryptography]"

The prebuilt standalone binaries already bundle this backend (statically linked), so they benefit from it out of the box.

Initialize configuration:

audible quickstart

List your library:

audible library list

Download all audiobooks:

audible download --all --aax

🔧 Plugins

You can extend audible-cli with custom commands or full plugin packages.
Register your plugin commands to the audible.cli_plugins entry point in your pyproject.toml.

Example:

[project.entry-points."audible.cli_plugins"]
my_command = "myplugin.cli:my_command"
