AudioAnchor VS audible-activator

Personally, I use castget to save everything locally and then sync it to my phone and play the files with AudioAnchor, but my methods are rather eccentric.

AudioAnchor (version 2.2.6): Audio player that tracks the listening process of your audio books and podcasts

Audio Anchor is just what you need. It will remember the last position of every audiobook you play. No ads, NoBS, Open source :)

Audio Anchor

AudioAnchor is GPL. Some features include:

Additional features include:

- Set bookmarks

- Adjust playback speed

- Export and import listening progress as SQL database

- Sleep timer

- Lock screen media controls (for Android 5.0 Lollipop and higher)

Available on F-Droid. I can't vouch for it but seems to tick some of the boxes.

Both apps require you to have audiobooks as files and download them in an accessible format. If you have audible audiobooks, you need to convert those to an open format first using something like AAX2MP3 + audible-activator

i convert ALL my audible files to M4B using ffmpeg. using this command line: "ffmpeg -activation_bytes xxx -i ab.aax -vn -c:a copy output.m4a", where xxx is your audible auth code. you can get your auth code by using https://github.com/inAudible-NG/audible-activator. i download the aax files on my pc from the audible website. work great every time.

I would encourage users not to use OpenAudible as they tend to engage in shady practices. They've stolen code from the original inAudible project and then released it as a closed-source commercial project. Users have complained about losing access to OpenAudible after upgrading: OpenAudible v3.3 upgrade warning/alert

You can use https://github.com/inAudible-NG/audible-activator, which is what OpenAudible supposedly stole their code from. And to convert the aax files you can use https://github.com/KrumpetPirate/AAXtoMP3.

It worth noting the OpenAudible folks “stole” the IP from the open source project audible-activator and have used it in their paid software.
