Hello fellow pirates 👋
I’m sick of Audible and it’s buggy app. Due to their excessive a/b testing the app stops working every second night. So I setup a selfhosted audiobookshelf instance.

However, I need my audiobooks to fall asleep and I don’t want to listen to the same books again and again, so I need a new source. Do you have any recommendations? In best case in German language, in worst case in English.

Thank you in advance! ☺️

    Well, I’ve listened to audiobooks on Spotify (and Tidal) for a while, but that’s not piracy. You could try “hoerbuch” followed by the top-level domain of the United States. And the local library here has several shelves filled with audiobooks. I might have ripped a few to listen to them on modern devices…

      Thanks! The theme makes me quite nostalgic. Reminds me of good old movie blog 😉

      I hate these download pages that partner with scammy hosting providers. They are always shit to use and want some payment data and they make it intentionally difficult to not buy those premium accounts. Fuck all of them.
