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.

has anyone done the big move from Spotify or other to Plex?
This is the way: https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide
- My audiobooks collection. I saw a similar post from another user and I thought about sharing mine.

Plex for Books?
There's a whole guide to getting it properly set up here.

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.

Large m4b
Sorry, I’m not familiar with programs on Mac. I use these scripts but they are Windows only.
-
.Cue files for chapters
Prologue reads embedded chapters. If you have Windows, see here for a method to embed chapters from a cue file to mp3 or m4b.
-
Advice on Complex Audiobook
You could also merge the chapter tracks into a single file with embedded chapters, but I think there is a chapter limit of 255 for m4b files, mp3 I’ve had issues with large chapter numbers as well but I’m unsure what the limit is. There’s a guide here on doing that https://github.com/TheMetalCenter/m4b-mp3-chapters-from-cuesheets thought it is windows only.

Yet Another Chapter Name Question
I use this method to change the chapters in all my audiobooks https://github.com/TheMetalCenter/m4b-mp3-chapters-from-cuesheets

Just downloaded app. What is the right/best way to set it up? I am having some issues...
I personally keep an audiobook folder on my NAS (or network drive) and manage it with MusicBee (the guide above uses mp3tag). I manually add my own metadata (guide above gives option to do manual or scrape it from audible). Then I update Plex library, which points to that directory, and adds any new books to Plex. I merge all my audio files to a single chapterized file before adding to MusicBee using https://github.com/TheMetalCenter/m4b-mp3-chapters-from-cuesheets but the guide above has an alternate way to do it.

Prologue Limitation: Is Not Reading Chapterised Titles of .m4b Audiobook
Do you have Windows or Mac? If Windows, this is the method I use to add/edit my audiobook's chapters. It's all done from bat files with ruby and python scripts, so a little messy but it gets the job done. You'd want to do scenario 6.
