Audible.com-Search-by-Album VS audiobookshelf

Seanap's plugin for MP3Tag is one that some use to tag their audiobooks for use in Plex.

You don't have to rename the file itself if you don't want to. I just went through a very large audiobook library (over 1,000 audiobooks) to retag the audiobook metadata using the Seanap (https://github.com/seanap/Audible.com-Search-by-Album) MP3tag plugin. I just tagged the file data but didn't change the file name using the Tag-Filename button.

Personally I have a rather large audiobook library in Plex. I've used MP3Tag to properly tag each MP3 file when I've ripped it. Currently use this audiobook scrapper (https://github.com/seanap/Audible.com-Search-by-Album) in MP3Tag which helps with the tagging process. There are likely better ways to deal with audiobooks, for my needs it's working OK for now until something better comes along or Plex adds official audiobook support.

For anyone who's game to run another service for audiobooks, I've found Audiobookshelf to be pretty good: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf

A spotlight on AudioBookshelf, an audiobook and podcast streaming server

The basics are same across most any container, you probably need to map some network ports, and map some storage paths, and then you are pretty good to go. There can be more than that, but those are kind of the minimums. For instance, the example compose file for audiobookshelf does just that, maps a port, and some storage and that's about it.

Move away as in find another audiobook vendor? Or simply retain access to your existing collection?

Audiobooks from Audible can be downloaded via the UI. They will have DRM, but it's possible to remove.

If you have audiobook files without DRM you can listen to them via any app that plays audio, but there's also at least one OSS project that aims to fill audiobook UI niche [1].

Using Audiobookshelf (https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf) and hosing my own podcast with an rss feed. It works just perfect in other podcast apps but in Pocket Casts, that used to work, I can't no longer see new episodes starting from about a week ago. I have never been able to stream the episodes either, just download and listen, this also works in iOS Podcaster app.
