Brief introduction of iTunes M4B audiobook<\/h2>\n<p>Before we start talking about how to  convert the iTunes M4B audiobook to MP3, let&rsquo;s know the M4B audiobook file a  little better first.

The audio in an  M4B file is encoded with the AAC compression format and can be protected with  Apple&rsquo;s FairPlay DRM copy protection system in order to restrict access to only  computers and iOS or Mac devices that have been authorized via iTunes.  Therefore, users who want to play iTunes audiobooks on other devices must  remove DRM from iTunes M4B audiobooks and convert M4B to MP3 later, thus making  iTunes M4B audiobook converters very demanded.
