How to download and play AudiobookStore.com audiobooks

Last reviewed 30 October 2026

At a glance

  • Download the purchased book from My Library on AudiobookStore.com. Some books contain several ZIP files, so download them all.
  • Extract the MP3s into one book folder, add it to Audely as Audiobooks, and check part order before listening.
Download on the App Store

1. Download every part of the purchase

AudiobookStore.com provides DRM-free MP3 files through its computer-download workflow.

On a Mac, sign in to AudiobookStore.com and open My Library. Choose the book’s computer-download option, described in its official FAQ as Download & Play on Computer.

Download each ZIP offered for the title. A long audiobook can be split across several ZIP files, so the first download may not contain the whole book.

2. Extract the MP3 files

Find the downloads in Finder and extract each ZIP. Keep the resulting tracks together in one clearly named book folder, preserving their filenames and numbering. Add the extracted audio to Audely, not the ZIP files.

To listen on iPhone or iPad, put the folder in iCloud Drive and let it finish uploading. You can then select it through Files on the listening device.

3. Add the book to Audely

  • iPhone or iPad: open Settings › Library › Add folder and select the book’s folder.
  • Mac: open Audely › Settings › Library › Add folder and select the folder in Finder.

Choose Audiobooks, then open Library › Audiobooks › Books. Check the first and last parts as well as their order, and select the book to listen.

Audely leaves the source MP3s in your folder. Use Book settings or Part settings for library corrections without rewriting the files.

4. Make the whole book available offline

Download every source track to the device before travelling. An iCloud Drive file may still be a placeholder until its download finishes. Each device needs its own folder permission, and Audely Pro sync does not copy the audio.

Keep the original downloads backed up. For help with multi-file books, see MP3 and M4B audiobooks.
