Why do I see locked titles in my Library?

Titles can become locked in your Library for different reasons:

Your membership has ended

If your Audible membership has ended, titles you previously had access to as part of your membership will be locked. This includes Plus Catalog titles for former Premium Plus and monthly audiobook selections for former Standard members.

When you try to play these titles, you will see a message that the title is no longer available. However, you can still purchase that title if you'd like to own it, or become an Audible Premium Plus to regain access. If no purchase options are available, we no longer carry the title.

Note: For former Audible Premium Plus members, this includes titles that were part of the Plus Catalogue. For former Audible Standard members, this includes any monthly audiobook selections.

Titles no longer available in the Plus Catalogue

For Audible members, if you see a 🔒 lock next to a title in your Library, it means that the title is no longer included in the Plus Catalogue and has since been removed. However, you can still purchase that title with cash or a credit if you'd like to own it. If no purchase options are available, we no longer carry the title.

What is the difference between purchased titles and included titles?

Titles you purchased with cash or credits remain permanently in your Library as long as they're available on Audible.

Titles you added to your Library without using credits (by selecting Add to Library) are only available while:

• You have an active membership (not paused or canceled)
• The title you added is part of the Plus Catalogue.
• If the title is going to leave the Plus Catalogue you will see an Included until label next to the title on the title's detail page, the home screen, and the search results page.
• For more information about content availability please refere to our Conditions of Use.
