Really liked this vid. Covered something I haven't seen anywhere else on a topic I actually find useful. I never used audible because I didn't have a good conversion path. I want to own, store and archive!. Now I can!

[ReensBeanDip]

This is exactly what I’d been looking for. Thank you so much!

[DriveupLife]

Wow! Never knew you could pull all content down from Audible. Definitely doing this

[modx]

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I have been looking for for a while now :)

[frankbohnen]

Wow, this came up the right time. Stared to play a round with Booksonic and Audiobookshelf. The video helped to decide where to go on. THX

I've had Audible since before Amazon acquired them; Member since 2004. And I was on the OLDER plans where you actually got a ton of titles. So I'm sitting on slightly over 700 books; that said, the one problem I've run into recently is I had two books I purchased way back when.. deleted from my account. They are no longer available through Audible due to a rights issue or something. Well, shit, I paid for them back then! This was enough to convince me to look for a solution. I think people hate physical media and all of that, but it is something I think about when you "buy digital" because they sure can take it back (had it happen to me on the PS4 as well). If I can store this stuff and never lose it? I'm all about it. Thanks for the heads up.

Awesome, this totally helped me! Thank you!

Been on my to do list for a while.

Thank you.

You did more than just share this man, you made an entire tutorial. Love it! thanks!
Just a quick question, is there any other way to get audiobooks from authors apart from amazon?

[derekge]

Docker is not supported on the Synology DS model I own. I've been using Plex + Audnexus + Prologue for over a year now and it works great! One advantage over this setup to Audiobookshelf, is the listing of the Narrator - this is handled by Audnexus.

what aren't all videos good like this!? damn! Likes and subscribed!

This was very helpful!! I do want to let everyone know that you can also use VLC media player (which a lot of people use already for various media) once you have used Libarion to DL the books! <3 Thank you!

[MichaelGoldfrad]

Thanks for the amazing tutorial, managed to set it up. One question though - how do I make it accessible outside the network? I can't figure out all these ports

[geyoda]

Does it transcode and does it save the point where one stopped listening, so you can continue later or from a different device?

[Thomas-_-]

this is a great video, would be sweet if someone showed a way to access remotely and how to share libraries with family members. thank you for the video and bringing my attention to this application

[johnjohansson]

How do I access them on my Ios device when I'm not at home or infront of a computer?

[georgeo]

How do you access ABS from outside local network?

[aarondodge]

I stumbled accross Audiobookshelf a few months ago and wouldnt go back, an additional benifit is the Android app goes alot easier on the battery when compared to Audibles one.

[spiffingbooks]

If one is using Linode to host the Linux instance is it possible to hold the Audiobook files on Google Drive as I think a large amount of storage on Linode would be expensive?

[TheFuzzyAmerican]

I did this days ago, my issue is remote access. I cannot find a guide on how to enable this outside my home network. I mirrored my plex firewall rule thinking that would enable access and sadly no. Any ideas?
