Method 1: Burn Audible Books to CD with iTunes
For desktop users, the first free way to burn Audible to CD is through iTunes. As a multifunctional software, iTunes has been working as a media player, iOS device data backup and recovery software, and also a CD burner at the same time. As a result, if you have some Audible audiobooks wanting to burn to CD, you can authorize iTunes to access your Audible library by signing in with the Audible account. Then by following the steps below, you can quickly burn Audible to CD freely without any cost.
You can only burn an Audible audiobook that is shorter than 80 minutes on one CD. So make sure the audiobook you are going to burn to CD doesn’t exceed 80 minutes in total.
Step 1. Firstly, go to Audible and sign in to open “Audible Download Manager”. Then click “General Settings” and select iTunes to let iTunes automatically read the audiobooks saved in your Audible library.
