Booksonic-Air VS Plex-Audiobook-Guide

You should check out booksonic, works pretty well, fully open-source

Booksonic-air may be a good fit, it's directory based, and the search is pretty good. https://github.com/popeen/Booksonic-Air

You can check out booksonic https://booksonic.org/ pretty simple docker setup, its free and works fine with a basic a web ui.

mkdir /home/nginx/Tools/booksonic-air cd /home/nginx/Tools/booksonic-air wget https://github.com/popeen/Booksonic-Air/releases/download/v2112.2.0/booksonic.war chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/Tools/booksonic-air/ /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-18/bin/java -jar /home/nginx/Tools/booksonic-air/booksonic.war -Dserver.port=4141

Getting back to the topic at hand. I looked in the Github project https://github.com/popeen/Booksonic-Air but I couldn't find any documentation for the REST API. Is there none or did I miss something?

I don't know of any app that will synch between different devices but I went ahead and set up my own Booksonic server. This allows me to listen through any browser or through the Android app.

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.
