Part 3: Epubor Chirp Converter Tutorial
To get Epubor Chirp Converter to work, you need to install an Android Studio and Chirp for Android APK to download the Chirp audiobooks, and then use Epubor Chirp Converter to convert them. Please go on reading and follow the steps below.
Step 1. Download and Install Android Emulator - Google Android Studio
Note: Android Studio is the only Android emulator that can be used with the Epubor Chirp Converter. Please download the right version for your computer from the links below. Don't install any other Android emulators. Otherwise, you will not be able to successfully convert your Chirp audiobooks with Epubor Chirp Converter.
Download Android Studio Hedgehog | 2023.1.1 RC3 for Windows (64-bit)

Step 2. Create a virtual device on Google Android Studio
Next, click the More Actions dropdown and select Virtual Device Manager.
Then click Create Device to create a virtual Android device.
Next, select Phone and choose Pixel 6 Pro as a device type, then click Next button.
Next, select a system image. Please ensure you select the correct system image, if not, the Chirp for Android app cannot be installed successfully in the emulator. Android 10.0 and higher Google APIs are both available, but I recommend you select Android 11.0(Google APIs) as the system image and click the "Download" arrow to download the necessary files, then click Next.
Note: It is an important step, please double check if you select Android 11.0(Google APIs) as the system image. If you install wrong system image, the Epubor Chirp Converter would not work correctly.
Next, rename your virtual device and click Finish to complete the device configuration.
Once finished, please return to the "Device Manager" and you can click Play icon to launch emulator.
Step 3. Install Chirp for Android APK on Android emulator
Download the Chirp for Android APK from the link below and drag APK file to the virtual device you launched before.
Attention: Please download the correct Chirp app from the link we provided. Don't download the Chirp for Android app from the Google Play Store or other places, otherwise, the Chirp app will not work correctly in the Android emulator.
Note: It will take several minutes to install APK, please wait with patience.
Once Chirp for Android APK has been installed successfully, it may not show up. Please hold the circle button on the home screen of the Android emulator and slide up to find the Chirp app.
Step 4. Download Chirp audiobooks in Android emulator
Launch Chirp app and log into your Chirp account, then you can view and sort titles in your Library in Android emulator.
With the Chirp app in Android emulator, you can conveniently access, listen to and download any audiobooks purchased from Chirp website. To download Chrip audibooks, click "3 dots" on the right side of the tile, and click "Download" button to download the audiobooks from your Library.
Once the downloading process is finished, there will be a green cloud icon show up next to the title.
Note: It does not matter even if the process shows "Pending download" and "Downloading" after you click the "Download" icon to download your books in the emulator. As long as your books show up in the Chirp app in the emulator and you keep the emulator running, the Epubor Chirp Converter can successfully detect all the books from your Chirp Library.
Step 5. Launch Epubor Chirp Converter to convert Chirp audiobooks
Run Epubor chirp Converter and click "Refresh" button, the chirp books from your Chirp Library will automatically show up in Epubor Chirp Converter program. Then you can drag them to the right side and click "Start conversion" button to convert your Chirp audiobooks to DRM-free files.
Important Tip: Please don't shut down Android emulator when you use Epubor Chirp Converter to convert your audibooks. Only if you keep the Android emulator running at the same time can the books be successfully detected and converted.
When the conversion is complete, click the "Open" button at the top to locate the converted Chirp audiobooks. Each audiobook will be converted into separate M4A files by chapters in individual folders.
Here is a video tutorial.
