AAX Audio Converter does what it's designed to do pretty much perfectly.
Before discovering this tool, I was using a different utility that converted AAX file to a single MP3. The conversion was slow and would sometimes introduce glitches. I would then have to manually split it into chapters, add tags, and add the cover art. The conversion tool used an old version of iTunes to do the conversion, and required me to register it to my Audible account.
This tool does all of that in a single operation. It does the conversion to MP3 quickly and reliably, can optionally split the book into chapters (either based on the AAX chapters or by time, or both), names the mp3 files and adds tags according to patterns you specify, and adds the cover art. It also supports organizing the files into an author/title hierarchy, or in a flat directory if you just want one file per AAX. And it doesn't need your Audible credentials to do any of this, as far as I can see.
I liked this tool so much I'm re-encoding all my AAX files, replacing the MP3s I'd made with the old tool. It's that much better.
Now that I'm spoiled by it, though, of course I have requests for even more features:
* some more flexibility in tagging and naming files. A "totaltracks" variable would be useful (eg. " - of ") and being able to specify your own format would be very useful.
* some more options for the audio quality of the MP3 would be nice. I like the VBR and max bit rate options, but options for average VBR and sample rate would be nice. I think just being able to use the values of the source AAX file is *very* helpful, though, and I think that should remain the default.
