I’m a big fan of and have been listening to their audiobooks for over 3 years now. I listen to them on my commute to work or before going to bed. However, there are times, when I’m doing some light work on my MacBook and would like to listen to audiobooks in the background. Unfortunately, Audible did not provide any desktop app like Spotify and to make it even worse there is not even an official Audible app for Mac like you get in. But fret not, you can still listen to Audible on Mac – either by using the official integration with iTunes or by sideloading the Audible Android app on your Mac. Here is a step by step guide on how to listen to Audible on Mac. Read: How to Listen to Audible on Mac 1.

Use the Cloud Player Now, this one may be obvious but it’s worth mentioning. Audible lets you stream your books online using the service called Audible Cloud Player. To use the Cloud Player, go to your Audible website from the desktop and log in. Next, go to your and click the Play button next to the title. Pros • Add bookmarks, change playback speed, jump chapters • Works on every platform Cons • No offline support • Often jerky audio with spotty Internet 2. Use iTunes The official way to listen to Audible on Mac is via iTunes. Go to your Library page on the Audible desktop site. Click the Download to the right next to the audiobook you’ll like to download.

Once the download is complete, click on the download file. A new pop-up box will open asking you to “ authorize your computer“. Click Yes Next, it’ll open a new tab on your browser and ask you to enter your Audible sign-in credentials. And that’s it, once you authorized it, you’ll see a message Click here to complete your activation. Click on that.

This will open the iTunes app on your Mac. To find your audiobook go to the Audiobooks section of iTunes from the top left and then go to Library. There you’ll see your Audiobook there. You can tap on the small picture in picture icon on the book cover to expand it in new windows. There is no option to jump to the next chapter from the iTunes app. However, you can find those options from the Chapter in the menu bar.

Pros • Basic controls playback and volume control. • It also remembers where I was listening to last time. • Jump to the next chapter from the menu bar. Cons • UI is not ideal for audiobooks. • you can’t fast forward or change the playback speed, • you can’t bookmark. • it doesn’t sync properly with the phone 3.

Use Android Emulator There are many Android emulators for Mac, however, we’ll recommend going with Nox. Although, far from perfect, it gets the job done. And hey it’s free. Go to and click on the download button. The file is for 384 MB so shouldn’t take much time to download. Once downloaded, launch the.dmg file and install it on your Mac, just like you install any other Mac app. For this instance, I install Nox Player on MacBook Air 2013 and surprising it worked fine.

Drag the Nox App Player icon into the Applications folder. If you try to launch the app, you’ll get the error saying – Nox player can’t be open as is from an unidentified developer. To bypass the error, go to your Security & Privacy settings and click on Open Anyway. Now, you should be able to install the app.
