MaM is the absolute best for audiobooks IMO. Always have what I want, a friendly and helpful community and from what I hear the most forgiving private tracker around.
ABT isn't bad either. You get a good spread with both.
Heads up about myanonamouse - they forbid VPNs during the initial interview, although apparently they allow VPNs after that.
Something funny about all kinds of private trackers that demand you not use a VPN and reveal all sort of stuff about you. Just feels so backwards lol
Right? I see lots of people recommending MaM for audiobooks, but not allowing VPN during the initial registration process is a hard no for me. Oh well.
very "you have to tell me if you're a cop, right?" vibes
I use myanonamouse. Had to back then, none of the public trackers were good. Sounds like they might be better now though. MaM is the only private tracker I'm on.
ABB is what I mostly use, going to have to give MAM a go again (didnt really do much audio books for a long while)
Ditto. ABB and then use Audiobookshelf.
Do i have to log in to download from audiobookbay?
Yup
The library.
Tons of books on CD, takes minutes to rip.
They also have audio books via streaming apps and digital players (like an mp3 player with a single book). With either of those you have to do the old school record the audio though, so I avoid them u less I absolutely have to.
I also do mp3 rips of videos that are mostly just lectures, where visual isn't critical.
I like that.
As I am not fond of english audiobooks (actually at all) as I am German and need to actively listen to anything I hear (podcasts, movies/shows, audiobooks or dramas) i am usually reliant on the offerings of my library.
Recently I ripped all my "Was ist Was" audiobooks (basically a science show made accessible for ~12 y/o) and really enjoyed those. But they are very specific to the german speaking domain which is already small in comparison to english in the piracy scene.
And I am part of some german sources.
If you use usenet there is https://abook.link/
There is no real automation (like arrs) for it, but for audiobooks thats not really necessary for my setup at least
Actually there is but the userbase seems awfully small in comparison.
The *arrs recently archived the project and are open for interested maintainers
Audiobookbay, but you could also try Soulseek since many people include audiobooks and audiodramas in the music libraries they share.
I used to download mp3 files from my library website but they stopped doing that so now I borrow CD's from my library. Also, I look up "black screen audio book" on Youtube and usually get some good hits.
Audible, you wouldn't steal a car, would you?
technically my audiobooks are just got from libation but that's only because i purchased them a long time ago and wanted to save them.
Quick note: libation can also save audiobooks that are free to listen to on audible.
If you live in the USA and have a library card, you can get audiobooks for free via libby with your library card number and login. If you're looking for other sources, MAM is the goto.
TTS reader for android and .epub files. it sorta, kinda works.
