edit: Libation apps needs you to give it your amazon password and ID, it’s foss and I trust it. (editing because seemed important)
Amazon allows you to download the book from Audible, but you need a code/password or something like that to read it. Libation can basically convert these encrypted files into decrypted mp3 files by getting this code from the website, I am pretty sure you can get it too. So, my question is, why aren’t there more pirates pirating audiobooks? Why isn’t every audiobook on audible available online for free?
I mean, many are, but why is it not more prevalent?
I listen to hundreds of audiobooks and I’ve literally never been unable to find an audiobook I wanted to pirate. Audiobook/eBook piracy is huge.
Where do you go for audiobooks? What player(s) do you use?
Money is getting tight with some life changes and don’t know that I can afford to stick with my audible subscription.
Audiobookbay, and Smart Audiobook Player my friend.
I use audibookbay to download, and AudiobookShelf to listen. It’s an awesome combination for DRM free audiobooks
MyAnonaMouse (mam) is a private tracker. You have to wait for very new popular titles but it’s gotten the job done for me.
If my private trackers don’t have what I’m looking for, DHT search engines like btdig always have my back when it comes to audiobooks.
Mobilism dot org has been supplying me with audiobooks for over a decade
Holy shit! Y’all ain’t messing around!! I’ve been stuck on libby and considering subscribing to audible but that plan is officially scrapped.
Piracy for the win!
Y’all ever hear of Libby app? It’s like piracy with fewer steps.
I like to add a step back in, where I rip the audiobook and then return the rental to the library. Others get to listen, and I have a copy for whenever I actually get around to listening to it :-)
How does one rip from Libby? The analog hole?
It’s gotten harder lately, the old app would just straight let you download mp3 files by chapter. It’s a bit more complicated now.
I believe this is what I used last time. https://github.com/chbrown/overdrive
Being american/living there is required for that, right?
What books are you trying to find that aren’t on audio book bay?
That’s a thing?!
It’s a basic site but well stocked. Not comparable to the big torrent sites, but it is great.
It is clunky to use but their catalogue is great. I would recommend it to anyone trying to find audiobooks.
audiobookbay
Right?
Imagine somebody gamified it like people gamify seeding lol.
Pirates don’t use audible. More to the point you still have to buy books on audible. So no one is just automatically ripping everything
IDK, I rip literally everything I buy on audible. I have been since they replaced RC Bray with fucking Wil Wheton for The Martian. I want the version I paid for and I’m going to keep it goddamnit!
Probably a stupid question, but how do you rip the drm? I hate having to use my phone to listen to it in my car, for example, and I don’t have unlimited data or an audio jack (I know, I can download the app, and have play through that, I don’t want their stupid app). I want to load an mp3 on my thumb drive, and plug that into the car, and leave it in the car until I need to load a new mp3. I’ve done a recording, but have to let it run the length of the program, and that’s just annoying.
This is the app I use, It strips the DRM and converts to mp3 or M4A files:
This is amazing! Thank you!!
Yes, me too. Mainly because I don’t want to use the audible app.
But that’s not the point, pirates are able to pirate every netflix show because netflix let’s you access everything. This is not how audible works
So, if I purchase things and make them available for free to those who want it, I’m not a pirate, I’m only a pirate if I don’t pay for the things I supply?
Maybe I fit into a different category but I pay for what I can, torrent what I can’t, but seed all of it.
One guy buys, rips DRM, uploads to pirates. That’s how almost all piracy works, someone usually had to buy a legit copy.
historically, no. most pirated content comes via centralized sources. The last time I was involved in anything like this it was people at stores who could rip dvds, cds, games because they worked there and would get a kickback, that’s how different groups (those words at the end of the filename) would get the relases
The centralized pirate guys need to get the content from somewhere. Usually by cracking or obtaining a retail copy, rarely by stealing one.
please read literally the second sentence of what i said.
I guessing less people want them. I imagine that it could be part of them being a far more niche area. Beyond that, don’t really know the reasoning for why
support authors if you like them and audiobooks are free at libraries anyway
Know any good ways to support authors we like without having to pay to rent an audiobook?
