Do you have a link to this? My workflow has me using this program to connect to and download books from audible and convert/tag them. I think it works great but if you have something better, I am always happy to try other options.

Play audio books on android?
2 projects | /r/Piracy | 7 Aug 2022

I'm using plex and Chronicle or Bookcamp as my player. I use AAX Converter and Book lib Connect ( https://github.com/audiamus/AaxAudioConverter ) to convert the few books I purchased on Audible. Plex Can play the monolithic file that is an option in AAX Converter, but I have had fewer issues converting into chunks separated by chapter.

Is Libation just for windows users? If so what alternative do you recommend for Mac users? If not, how do I download it?

However, it also says 'Don't use Windows? Or is Libation just not right for you? Similar apps are on AudiobookHub, nearly all of which are also free'

Unofficially you can download your books locally using my program Libation or similar then listen with the app of your choice. On my laptop I like VLC because it has speed control.
Major issue with the app where 157 of my title are missing and won’t show up even after downloading

If Libation's not your jam though, please use something. There are other options, most of which are also free and open source.

I recommend using my software Libation (free, open source, windows) for backing up audible books. If that's not the right choice for you though please use something. There are many alternatives and most are also free and open source.
