My audiobooks collection. I saw a similar post from another user and I thought about sharing mine.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/PleX

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Plex-Audiobook-Guide

    A walkthrough for optimal Audiobook experience using Plex

  • This guide helped me out a ton when I started out. The process isn't super automated, but the rate at which I'll acquire a new audiobook is so low that it isn't a big deal.

  • Audnexus.bundle

    An Audnexus client proof of concept for Plex, providing rich author and audiobook data. Developed in Python, offering enhanced user experiences via Plex's legacy plugin agent system.

  • Normally, if a book is divided in too many mp3 files, I convert it (combine) to M4B so it's only 1 or 2 files. Then I use a plugin called Audnexus to update the metadata in Plex.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Libation

    Libation: Liberate your Library

  • Libation is useful for automatically downloading purchased Audible audiobooks. Libro.fm makes it pretty easy to download theirs (and they're DRM free + support local bookstores, so most of my library comes from there). Libation can help grab your Audible purchases easier than the UI allows.

  • AudioBookConverter

    Improved AudioBookConverter based on freeipodsoftware release (mp3 to m4b converter)

  • Audiobook Converter - Takes anything not an M4B and makes it an M4B (and can add some basic metadata to an M4B). For Plex, I've found it useful to have one file for playback vs. all the mp3 files (plus it's a lot cleaner)

  • Audiobooks.bundle

    Audiobook metadata agent for Plex (by seanap)

  • You certainly have to massage it to make it work but with a plug-in or two (Seanad guide)and apps like prologue you certainly can get a good and complete experience.

  • Booksonic-Air

    A new Booksonic server based on Airsonic. - OBS: The code here might not be ready for release. Feel free to compile it yourself but if so I recommend searching for the latest commit with the description "Prepare for release"

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