Supported Formats

Audio

Achew works with most audiobook files, including these common formats:

  • MP3 (.mp3)
  • M4B / M4A / MP4 audio (.m4b, .m4a, .mp4)
  • FLAC (.flac)
  • OGG / Vorbis / Opus (.ogg, .opus)
  • WAV (.wav)

Both single-file and multi-file audiobooks are supported.

Unsupported codec: xHE-AAC

Due to ffmpeg's limited support, Achew cannot reliably process audiobooks encoded as xHE-AAC. Smart Detect, chapter realignment, title transcription, and audio playback may all fail or produce incorrect results for these audiobooks.

Achew automatically detects these files and shows a warning banner during workflow selection.
