Bye bye #Audible , hello #LibroFM o/

Wish I had done this sooner!

I also didn’t know so of @pluralistic ’s #audiobooks were on there.

Even some I couldn’t find on https://craphound.com/all-audiobooks/ !

All Audiobooks | Cory Doctorow's craphound.com

@pluralistic

Hmmm so I just went back to check to make sure…

For example, “the Bezzle” only shows up under the “download my books” section and it wasn’t clear to me that there was an audiobook available for the #Bezzle yet.

@yorgos @pluralistic

I really want to leave audible because not only the DRM thing Cory has been telling me about for years but the Bezos thing too---- but I've got hundreds of books in my Library.

I need to figure out what to do about it and how to host my books.

@kbsez you might want to check out OpenAudible .

@pluralistic

@yorgos @pluralistic

ooooooo--- I think this is going to fix a lot of things

@yorgos @pluralistic

I'm liking what I'm seeing with #OpenAudible but I'm trying to figure out a solution for hosting my library because I'll finish a book away from home and want to immediately start another but don't want to have them al stored on my phone...

@yorgos @pluralistic

I found an open source project that will also un-DRM your purchased Audible books and convert them to M4B

https://github.com/audible-tools/audible-tools.github.io

They even have a website UI for it:
