How to Play Audible on LG TV: 2 Simple Methods

By Adam Gorden Updated on September 19, 2023
I love using audible, but it sucks that there is no Audible app for the Apple TV. There isn't even an app for the Firestick which is ironic. But what have other Audible users been doing to play their audiobooks through their tv?

-- From Reddit.

As it stands now, Audible hasn't officially released an Audible app for LG Smart TV, leaving LG TV users in a bit of a dilemma. While Amazon has been quite supportive by providing the Amazon Music app on LG Content Store, the Audible app seems to have been left behind.

Don't despair; this post will discuss the possibilities of enjoying Audible content on your LG TV. Despite the absence of an official Audible app for LG Smart TV, LG TV users can still benefit from Audible support through alternative methods. There are two basic methods to listen to audiobooks on your LG TV: using the LG TV's built-in browser or converting Audible books on the computer and transfer them to a USB drive for playing on your LG TV.

Part 1. How to Listen to Audible on LG TV via Browser

Playing Audible on your LG TV can be a convenient way to enjoy your favorite audiobooks on a bigger screen, especially when there's no dedicated Audible app available in the TV's content store. Fortunately, LG TVs often come with a built-in web browser, making it possible to access Audible's vast library of audiobooks directly from your TV.

Playing Audible on LG TV via Built-in Browser:

  1. Power on your LG Smart TV.
  2. Using your TV remote, press the Home button to access the main menu.
  3. Navigate to and select the "Web Browser" option, typically represented by a blue browser icon.
  4. Once the web browser is open, locate the address bar at the top of the screen and enter the web address "audible.com."
  5. Press the Enter button.
  6. On the audible.com website, follow the steps to access your Audible account or use your Amazon credentials.
  7. To listen to an Audible audiobook on your LG Smart TV, select a title from your library and press Enter.

Congratulations! You can now enjoy Audible content on your LG Smart TV, providing you with an enhanced listening experience.

Tips: For added convenience, consider bookmarking the audible.com website. You can typically do this by pressing an option like "Add to Favorites" or "Bookmark" within the web browser. This will make it easier to access Audible on your LG Smart TV in the future.

Part 2. How to Convert Audible Books for Playback on LG TV

While using the web browser to access Audible audiobooks on your LG TV is possible, it's worth noting that the network connection might not always deliver the seamless experience you'd expect for online listening. For many Audible users, offline listening is more familiar and reliable. Fortunately, LG TVs support offline playback of downloaded Audible audiobooks as long as they are in compatible formats. LG TVs typically support audio formats like MP3 and AAC, making it possible to enjoy your downloaded Audible content offline.

As another alternative way to enjoy Audible audiobooks on your LG TV when there's no official Audible app available, you can consider using the ViWizard software to convert the Audible books for playback on your LG TV via a USB drive.

Tool Required: ViWizard Software
