To convert .aa to mp3s that are 3min long segments 1. Open aa file in goldwave providing your username and password (if this is the first file you’ve opened since installing codec (installed with audible manager)). 2. ‘Trim’ any noise out of the first ~0.03 seconds. 3. Tools, Cue Points, Auto Cue (my prefs are -30dB, 0.5 sec, 3min) 4. Save as wav 5. Tools, Cue Points, Split file (saved as small 3 min long wav files) 6. File, Batch Processing, Add Folder, (my prefs are Layer3, 44100Hz, 32kbps, mono), specify destination folder. 7. Delete the wav files (both the single large and the small split ones) – Done.
If you prefer to have the file as one large mp3 in addition to the small segments, you could alternately do: 1. Open aa file in goldwave providing your username and password (if this is the first file you’ve opened since installing codec (installed with audible manager)). 2. ‘Trim’ any noise out of the first ~0.03 seconds. 3. Save as MP3 (my prefs are Layer3, 44100Hz, 32kbps, mono) 4. Tools, Cue Points, Auto Cue (my prefs are -30dB, 0.5 sec, 3min), split file (saved as small 3 min long mp3 files) 5. Done. Advantage is that you have the complete file as one mp3, disadvantage is that there is more encoding time.
This is using Audible manage 3.5 and Goldwave 5.04. Good luck.
