I have a large audible library I would like to backup and make available for other audiobook apps that use less battery. I’d like to maintain as much information and structure as possible. I saw a self hosted solution for audiobooks I might try to implement as well.
What programs or processes work best for this?
I’m personally a big fan of OpenAudible. It’s not free, but it’s not crazy expensive and it does all the work for you. You sign into your Audible account in the app, it will pull your library, download each book, decrypt it, and convert it to the format of your choice (I usually do M4B). I’ve been using it for years and it makes downloading your Audible library in an ongoing basis a breeze.
I used Libation. It’s free, it’s open source and it worked great for me
Not for ripping but to serve your books and for the selfhosters among us use audiobookshelf.
Really great piece of software
Just wanted to give another upvote to audiobookshelf. It’s a great audible replacement and allows for local downloading and server syncing. Great project!
