Part 4. How to Play Audible on Google Home through YouTube Music

If you're looking to explore another method to enjoy Audible audiobooks on your Google Home, using YouTube Music is an option. However, it's important to be aware of the DRM (Digital Rights Management) restrictions that the formatted Audible audiobooks in AA or AAX typically come with. To overcome these limitations, we'll introduce a tool called ViWizard Audible Converter to enable a seamless listening experience.

Audible audiobooks are usually protected by DRM, which restricts you from playing them on devices that are not authorized by Audible. Google Home doesn't natively support Audible due to these DRM constraints. This means you can't directly stream Audible to Google Home using YouTube Music. To work around DRM restrictions and play Audible audiobooks through YouTube Music on your Google Home, you can use ViWizard Audible Converter, which allows you to convert Audible audiobooks into a more versatile format that's compatible with various devices, including Google Home.
