Ads in audiobooks? Audible has gone to far
There's still a webplayer if you don't want to install additional tools, as well as BookLibConnect for downloading the files and AaxAudioConverter to jailbreak the books and convert them into a format you decide.

aax to MP3
I recently updated AAX Audio Converter, it now offers hints and links to its companion Book Lib Connect. You can see Book Lib Connect as a replacement for the now defunct official Audible App for Win 10. The long term goal is still to integrate Book Lib Connect into a revised AAX Audible Converter, but I don't have found the time for that yet.

Unable to listen offline on computer
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.

Audible Backup - One big file or a file per chapter?
I split my books not only into chapters but into even shorter tracks, about 5 minutes each. To achieve this, I created AAX Audio Converter (and later the downloader Book Lib Connect as its companion), which has become one of the most popular tools in this field.

Windows 10 App discontinued and will stop working end of this month with NO replacement
Of the Free and Open Source converters to plain audio (motto: "Use any audio player you like"), my little but rather popular AAX Audio Converter was cooperating perfectly with the official Audible app for Win 10, including support for named chapters which came as separate json files. However, AAX Audio Converter still cannot download the books itself. So I started on a downloading option. It was just by chance that I released the first version of Book Lib Connect just the moment in January when Audible announced the discontinuation of their Win 10 app. Book Lib Connect downloads and decrypts your books and also exports them for further processing with AAX Audio Converter with all its many tailoring options. From the perspective of AAX Audio Converter, Book Lib Connect serves as a substitute for the Audible app.

OpenAudible - mp3 or m4b?
First of all, you are aware that there are Free and Open Source alternatives for converting your Audible books to plain audio? One rather popular example is the pair of Book Lib Connect and AAX Audio Converter which I created>! (shameless advertising)!<.

Adding Audiobooks and Old Time Radio Shows to Plex
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.

Tagging Conventions
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

I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music
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
- Plex needs an audio book style library
- Links to tutorials on how to clean up my library? (Just installed "scanned and matched" folder... it is a total mess still!)

Calibre for audiobooks
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.

For those of you listening to the Audiobook version of Secret Project #1, which way did you choose? I have an Android phone, so Speechify is out. I don't currently use Spotify, so I'm leaning towards loading the MP3's on my phone, but which app (Android) is good for Audiobooks given in this format?
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.
