.... how do people listen to and manage plain old mp3/4s these days. Is Plex any good at it?
Wanna start picking up audio books, would prefer not to use audible

I got it as a recommendation from @pluralistic

@pseudonym @arrdem @pluralistic Cool, just listened to the sample and seems like it could draw me in...

Dang, people on Mastodon keep suggesting books that I get obsessed with and my to-read/to-listen list is out of control!

@pseudonym this is my favorite place to get audiobooks!
@pseudonym @arrdem @pluralistic thank you for this recommendation. I was kinda struggling to get away from Audible (with it‘s very strong catalog but weak ethics). Libro looks like a strong contender, I’ll give a try
@LSA232 might be interesting for you?

@frankbeutell @arrdem @pluralistic

Awesome. Happy to help.

Was thrilled to find it when Corey recommended it. Found a vendor, and an excellent series of books to start with.

You can also set up an account on Libro.fm then go to libro.fm/gift to gift yourself (or others) instead of buying them at list price the vast majority of audio-books can be bought at $15 a piece w/ book credits. You do not have to subscribe to the book of a month to get them at $15. And you can start out getting just a two book credit bundle and use them when you want. Good way to get #drmfree book at a decent cost.

@gopal @frankbeutell @pseudonym @arrdem @pluralistic if you do not have an US credit card, then this at the same time the only option to use the site. Buying gift credits is fine with any countrie’s card. Works great! Greetings from Luxembourg. 😊
@pseudonym @arrdem @pluralistic
The membership is only available in the US & Canada... 🥲
But we can still get some bundles 🥳
