+==== Convert .aax (Audible audiobook format) to .mp3/m4b etc. (on ArchLinux):====
+// This tutorial is for arch linux, but you can adapt easily for others distros //
+=== 1) Install aaxtomp3 ===
+https://github.com/KrumpetPirate/AAXtoMP3
+      * ''yay -Sy aaxtomp3''
+Install the dependencies:
+  *     ''yay -Sy mp4v2-utils ''
+  *     ''yay -Sy mediainfo''
+=== 2) Install the package that retrieves the Audible authentication code to enable conversion (thanks to Audible for making it so easy for us...) ===
+https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli?tab=readme-ov-file
+  *
+  *     ''yay -Sy python-pipx''
+  *     ''pipx install audible-cli''
+  *     ''pipx list'' then go to the directory ''apps are exposed on your $PATH at''
+  *     ''./audible-quickstart'' (for interactive installation). (This will create files in a ''.audible'' folder)
+  *     Retrieve the famous Audible authentication code: ''./audible activation-bytes''
+Now that we have ''aaxtomp3'' and our ''activation-bytes'', go to the folder where the ''.aax'' file to be converted is located and run:
+<code>AAXtoMP3 -e:m4b -A activation-bytes -d audiobook.aax
+OR
+bash AAXtoMP3 -e:m4b -A activation-bytes -d audiobook.aax </code>
+**Note:** Enter the ''activation-bytes'' code as is (without quotes).
