Convert THR to AA

Understanding the thr and aa file formats

THR files are typically associated with embroidery machines, specifically as thread color palette files used by certain embroidery software. These files store information about thread colors and sequences for embroidery designs, but do not contain the actual stitch data.

AA files, on the other hand, are Audible Audio files, a proprietary audio format developed by Audible for audiobooks. These files are encrypted and designed for playback on Audible-compatible devices and apps.

Can you convert thr to aa?

Direct conversion from THR (embroidery thread palette) to AA (audio) is not possible, as these formats serve entirely different purposes: one is for embroidery color data, the other for audio content. There is no meaningful way to convert thread color information into an audiobook format.

Alternative solutions

If you are looking to convert embroidery designs for use with different machines, consider converting the actual embroidery design files (such as PES, DST, or EXP), not the thread palette files. For audio needs, you would need to use source audio files (like MP3 or WAV) and convert them to AA using Audible's tools.

Recommended software for embroidery file conversion

• Embird: A powerful embroidery software suite that can convert between many embroidery file formats and manage thread palettes.
• Wilcom Truesizer: Free and paid versions available for viewing and converting embroidery files.

To convert embroidery files, use File → Open to load your design, then File → Save As to export to your desired format.

Recommended software for audio file conversion

• Audible Manager: Official tool for managing and transferring AA files to devices.
• OpenAudible: Third-party tool for converting Audible audiobooks to other formats (requires valid Audible account).

To convert audio, import your audiobook and use the export or convert function as supported by the software.

Summary

There is no direct or meaningful way to convert THR embroidery thread palette files to AA audiobook files. Use specialized software for each file type according to your needs.
