AaxAudioConverter VS Plex-Audiobook-Guide

You can use software like Libation, AAX Audio Converter or inAudible to decrypt Audible books.

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.

There is a free PC program that works great too, https://github.com/audiamus/AaxAudioConverter

Converting to M4B: AaxAudioConverter

I be sorry for them unknowing cabin boys aboard. Ye be askin' how to keep yer audible books, aye? Well, have I got a solution for ye! Check out this treasure trove o' a tool: https://github.com/audiamus/AaxAudioConverter

I believe this one is a pretty popular option.

And, of course, there is also AAX Audio Converter with its companion Book Lib Connect, to complete the picture of the most popular Free and Open Source tools in this area.

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.

Here is a resource that you will find useful for audiobooks. I love your old-time radio idea, I look forward to hearing what people suggest for that because I am totally stealing your idea lol.

I'd probably just bite the bullet and update the tags on everything. I've always just adhered to /u/seanap and followed their guide: https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide

Prologue for iOS is a Plex audiobook player that is better than any audiobook player has a right to be.

Here's a good guide on how to set up Plex for proper metadata with audiobooks: https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide

Depending exactly what you're trying to do mp3tag is a great tool for just managing metadata directly. The Plex Audiobook Guide has some handy tools for mp3tag that allow you to download info directly from audible.

This is the way: https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide

There's a whole guide to getting it properly set up here.

Just to throw this out there though for anyone who might be interested in self-hosting their secret project audiobooks and others, to look at Audiobook Shelf. /r/audiobookshelf (what i'm doing) or set up plex to handle audiobooks (as best as it can) and use one of the players listed on that site, probably Chronicle on Android or Prologue for iOS.
