These are extracted and used to populate the metadata for the book as it is added to Calibre. M4A and M4B files have metadata internally in MPEG tags. YMMV ) The MP3 files should be referenced with an absolute URL or path. RAM all use a sufficiently similar file format, and are also parsed. A slightly massaged version of eyeD3-0.6.17 is used to parse these files. MP3 files have some metadata internally in ID3 tags. The work-around I've chosen is to put all the chapters of the Audio Book into a Series by the book's actual name, ordered by chapter number. Calibre considers each file a separate book in its database.

Besides that it can run lineage os.This plugin eases the process of managing your Audio Books in Calibre.Īudio Books, if they are long enough, are typically broken up into separate files by chapter, to ease downloading pain over slow connections. You may ask: Why an LG G5 H850? Well, its relatively small and cheap (about 50 - 80 bucks used) it has an audio Jack, USB-C, you can change the battery, it can hold up to 2TB microSD storage, has an HiFi Plus module for audio enthusiasts and a descent screen.

I also thought about writing something self hosted in C# to have ONE solution for audiobooks, podcasts and music and started a small private project, but this will take a while until it is ready to release something. Maybe I'll try out Jellyfin or maybe Plex, but I really don't wanna go closed source. For Music I use Navidrome and Substreamer App. I use m4b-tool, tone and audiobookshelf together with an LG G5 H850 smartphone with Bang & Olufsen Hifi-Plus Module for Audio Only and I am pretty happy with this config.
