It depends whether the releaser (I see you downloaded this illegal file set) has used Meridian Lossless Packing (MLP) compression. If he has not then a MPEG-2 demultiplexer + AC3filter will render your files, since AOB is basically a VOB. But this most likely is NOT the case.

If your files are in MLP format you need to either burn them and insert in a shiny silver set-top DVD player, or extract the files back to their source uncompressed format. To extract you need, "DVD-Audio Explorer" and either Minnetonka DiscWelder or Surcode MPL encoder. Both later are professional payware. I can upload DVDA explorer, since it is free and not easy to find.

Do not attempt to unpack the MLPs using generic MPEG-2 demultiplexers. It won't work, since MPL is encapsulated with additional data per frame to look like a standard LPCM stream. Surcode tools won't understand this format.

I don't know an easier, automated way to unpack an AOB set. I'd blame the uploader who chose not to release in a format more convenient for computer users, such as FLAC, Wavpack or APE.
