- [ ] I might have access to large number of m4b audiobooks. There are many long mystery series plus a good dash of good literature. What could I do with them?
- [ ] Give them to some library. Requires library have hardware, disk space and willingness.
- [ ] What libraries might be willing?
- [ ] Create my own server space and offer access to friends and families? I would require disk space and a collaborator. (nb I am retired)

@solarbear If you use Apple's products or macOS, maybe M4B is a better choice. M4B is a file format specifically designed for audio books. Apple's applications and devices already have support for the M4B format.

If you use Linux, maybe MKA is the better choice. MKA is a flexible, open source format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in a single file.

On the more positive side: I know #Libro.fm aren't responsible for the silly restrictions placed on purchases by publishers. I like the #DRM-free downloads, which include a choice of #M4B as a format, and the iOS app also seems reasonably good and #VoiceOver-accessible from a first glance. It lacks the 0.05 playback rate adjustment of #Audible, but supports automatic rewind-on-pause which is one of my favourite features in an #audiobook player.

Meanwhile, written a first pass #python script that can do the split #M4B #audiobook thing. It currently splits to #mp3 into a hardcoded directory. I'll make it a little more configurable tomorrow. Uses #ffprobe to get the chapter info, and then #ffmpeg to do the actual split/transcode. Oh and I went with -ss & -to rather than -ss and -t

So I've been messing about with audio books, found a #python script that I finally got working that can split an #m4b file into separate chapters. But it has a slight flaw in that if you want to create individual mp3 files for each chapter the script insists on transcoding the whole file to mp3 before it splits it.

If you skip that step with a command-line switch, then the files get written to the root directory of where the script is.

Think I'll end up writing my own simpler script!
