Hi, I just set up Audiobookshelf, and now I’d like to know what your favorite ways are, to get audiobooks, etc. that you upload. Thank you in advise and have a nice Day :D
Audible + OpenAudible. OpenAudible does “stuff” and you end up with audio files, that you can listen on most devices. Don’t know and care how they do this. Its not free but so is Audible.
When you have an active Audible subscription, you also have access to free Audiobooks. You can download and convert them too. But be aware, that Audible is rate limited. Had downloaded a ton of free audiobooks and after a short limit (maybe 1 hour), I got a long limit for around 24 hours. But I still use Audible. I just have it as a backup and this way I can give my family access to the books I have. But so far my mother only listen to the ones I got for free. I like Science Fiction a lot but my mother not.
A college who I recommended Audiobookshelf, has a subscription from a German only site (Thalia), where apparently the Audiobooks can be downloaded as MP3s. So far I prefer Audible, even with DRM, just because the availability. Not all books I listen to, are available on that site or much later.
Another alternative is Libation , I’ve been using that to archive my and my partners audible accounts. Only issue I’ve run into is having the license denied when trying to back up a book.
Ripping childrens audiobooks from youtube with ylt-dlp is my least favorite because uploaders upload trash a lot, i.e. they let it repeat two times or even more often within one video.
I prefer subscribing to podcasts and downloading audiobooks via the usual means. There’s also good stuff on deezer which is very convenient.
The usual means are audible or spotify for example. Am i right?
never felt that meme that hard
I screencapped this because I can’t trust the internet to have it when I want to come back and laugh at it again.
Good to know that I can make people with my Stupidity happy

I find them online and use javascript to rip them into a text file and use @Voice premium on android to read/listen to the text files. I got the premium @Voice because I didn’t realize how much of a staple having an app that can read most types of files was going to be.
I use annas archive for ebooks but I organize those with calibre, not audiobookshelf because I have a somewhat peculiar organization scheme that relies on calibres custom columns and export feature.
My audiobooks I get from abtorrents but I heard great things about myanonamouse
I find it on a truck that could find in my comment history.
