You can get rid of the DRM easily with FFmpeg:

ffmpeg -activation_bytes 1CEB00DA -i test.aax -vn -c:a copy output.mp4

See: http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html#Audible-AAX

Thank you for that, I have a bunch of Audible titles that I want to listen to but I prefer another audiobook player.

The fact that it's a choice between "use the player I like" and "listen to the books I bought" is why DRM is evil.
