Audioserve VS m4b-tool

So basically, I need something like mStream or Audioserve that you point at a folder and you can play the mp3s in it. Nothing fancy, I don't need tags, etc. something strictly folder-based. It also needs the ability to link directly to the file. Mousikofidi does this, but I need something for Windows (I know, I know...) Essentially Apache but prettier.

Perhaps take a look at Audioserve.

Maybe AudioServ? It's a lightweight, directory based, server but I don't remember what the search is like. https://github.com/izderadicka/audioserve

Absolutely, no point arguing over personal preference. If you prefer a folder structure, perhaps look into Audioserve.

I also considered audioserve + app [1], but I did not have the time to try it out.

I did, recently I opened an issue on this: https://github.com/izderadicka/audioserve/issues/59

I’ve been using https://github.com/sandreas/m4b-tool for years to combine files into m4b, add cover and metadata. I also use iOS and prologue for listening.

MP3Merge, m4b-tool. This one is interesting for iOS users.

Look into m4btool (https://github.com/sandreas/m4b-tool). Audiobookbinder increases the m4b filesize. Followed this post for my own purposes: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/426094/convert-multiple-mp3-files-or-single-m4a-into-m4b-with-ffmpeg-and-afconvert

M4B-tool which wraps ffmpeg might be your best bet if you are planning on converting m4b’s.
