About

The Script Generator Script will create a personalized Script to Process all your AAX Files from Audible in a Folder with ffmpeg.

• This script will convert them to M4B Files.
• It will keep the original Filename, Meta Data, Images and Chapters contained in the AAX File.
• It will delete the AAX Files once processed.
