Decrypt Audible audiobooks

To decrypt Audible audiobooks:

1. Use audible-cli to get your activation bytes (run audible quickstart).
2. Use Libation to manage and decrypt your audiobooks.
3. Play them on whatever player you like!

Also, with ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -y -activation_bytes <bytes here> -i  'book.AAX' -codec copy 'book.m4b'
