Anyone know if anything like this?
You might find something here…
Have you checked the piracy mega thread? I think they have a few online audiobook sites listed there but correct me if I’m wrong.
Edit: if you have a library card, you could use Libby for listening to audiobooks for free.
a library card US library card.
I mean, I’m from Canada, so North American library card?
What if the OP is from South America or Europe, is there a Pan-American library card? Or maybe Transatlantic one?
I can’t seem to get mine to work, the library system doesn’t seem to be recognized.
Go ask a librarian what app they use
Why not just grab and put them on your phone or host them in a server?
Whole lot of storage space and a whole lot of work respectively?
You are severely overestimating both in your assumptions.
I think I have like 3,000 audiobooks in .mp3s and it takes hardly 5gb.
Wow, and those aren’t unlistenable due to compression? Cool. Yeah I would have thought it was more like 1gb per 10 hours, but I guess it’s orders of magnitude less than that.
For real. I become a little bit of a snob when it comes to my audiobooks. I have a collection going of near 2000 and thats about 2TB of space. Now, I do try and get the “best” I can of what’s available, and, to be fair, 64kbps books are truly well and good. There are also ones that sound great and don’t pack a high bitrate, but once it hits the 32kbps that when its rare I’ll touch them unless the are the only copies I can find. Personally, I hate how much highly compressed books make the narrators sound. Just awful
I dumped my Audible books. Metro 2035 is around 550MBs, Windows reports 62kbps bit rate. Is that normal? m4b Downloaded with Booklib+AAX Converter
That seems normal. The copy I have in an m4b ~530 MB (@63kbps). There are various tools like the one you mentioned and (https://github.com/VarSell/iAmDeaf) which I’m sure does the same thing. Unfortunately I am not too well versed in the actual ripping of content so i dont really know how people get the untouched “highest” bitrate content. But what you did appears to be wihtin the normal range, I would say.
I am not really part of the scene but am part of a community that shares the booty
