  1. audiobookshelf

    Self-hosted audiobook and podcast server

    I have recently found Audiobookshelf which is pretty impressive. It still lacks some features (like Upload progress bar) and polish but is totally usable.

  3. Jellyfin

    The Free Software Media System - Server Backend & API

    https://openaudible.org could be considered somewhat Calibre-like. If it's more about self-hosting, media servers like https://jellyfin.org may be more interesting (although I wouldn't call those similar to Calibre).

  4. Scripts

    :runner: I keep lots of small scripts in the ~/scripts directory. Added it to path as well (by captn3m0)

    I have 3, listed here: https://github.com/captn3m0/scripts

    * split-audio-by-chapters (Based on metadata inside the AAX file)

    * split-by-audible (If audible doesn't provide splits in the m4a, but chapters are marked in the web/mobile player - you can copy the chapter listing and use this). See source for format.

    * split-by-silence (In some cases audible doesn't provide any chapters at all, and this is my last-ditch effort).

  5. openaudible

    Audiobook Manager for Audible Users

    https://openaudible.org could be considered somewhat Calibre-like. If it's more about self-hosting, media servers like https://jellyfin.org may be more interesting (although I wouldn't call those similar to Calibre).

  6. Plex-Audiobook-Guide

    A walkthrough for optimal Audiobook experience using Plex

    I’ve been using Plex to host audiobooks works well enough

  7. m4b-tool

    m4b-tool is a command line utility to merge, split and chapterize audiobook files such as mp3, ogg, flac, m4a or m4b

  8. tone

    tone is a cross platform audio tagger and metadata editor to dump and modify metadata for a wide variety of formats, including mp3, m4b, flac and more. It has no dependencies and can be downloaded as single binary for Windows, macOS, Linux and other common platforms.
