Hi, I just set up Audiobookshelf, and now I’d like to know what your favorite ways are, to get audiobooks, etc. that you upload. Thank you in advise and have a nice Day :D

    It would be a shame not to shamelessly plug author (and anti-DRM activist) Cory Doctorow here. He has some really fun science fiction, and sells his audio books DRM-free through various sources.

    Shamelessly, because lots of his protagonists are self-hosters of various types.

    I use Downpour for Audiobooks. It is similar to Audible where audiobooks can be purchased individually, or there is a subscription that provides credits to purchase audiobooks. The audiobooks are drm-free and can be downloaded. I have not found a way to automate the download and transfer to my Audiobookshelf server, but I don’t mind doing it manually considering I average around two or three audiobooks a month.

    I use annas archive for ebooks but I organize those with calibre, not audiobookshelf because I have a somewhat peculiar organization scheme that relies on calibres custom columns and export feature.

    My audiobooks I get from abtorrents but I heard great things about myanonamouse

    I hear Anna’s Archives is great for ebooks. I don’t do audiobooks, and can’t stand podcasts, but it sounds like a lot of good suggestions were made for those already.

    Ripping childrens audiobooks from youtube with ylt-dlp is my least favorite because uploaders upload trash a lot, i.e. they let it repeat two times or even more often within one video.

    I prefer subscribing to podcasts and downloading audiobooks via the usual means. There’s also good stuff on deezer which is very convenient.
