Why not just grab and put them on your phone or host them in a server?

JohnDClay,

Whole lot of storage space and a whole lot of work respectively?

You are severely overestimating both in your assumptions.

I think I have like 3,000 audiobooks in .mp3s and it takes hardly 5gb.

JohnDClay,

Wow, and those aren’t unlistenable due to compression? Cool. Yeah I would have thought it was more like 1gb per 10 hours, but I guess it’s orders of magnitude less than that.

For real. I become a little bit of a snob when it comes to my audiobooks. I have a collection going of near 2000 and thats about 2TB of space. Now, I do try and get the “best” I can of what’s available, and, to be fair, 64kbps books are truly well and good. There are also ones that sound great and don’t pack a high bitrate, but once it hits the 32kbps that when its rare I’ll touch them unless the are the only copies I can find. Personally, I hate how much highly compressed books make the narrators sound. Just awful

dustojnikhummer,

I dumped my Audible books. Metro 2035 is around 550MBs, Windows reports 62kbps bit rate. Is that normal? m4b Downloaded with Booklib+AAX Converter

dudemanbro,
@dudemanbro@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

That seems normal. The copy I have in an m4b ~530 MB (@63kbps). There are various tools like the one you mentioned and (github.com/VarSell/iAmDeaf) which I’m sure does the same thing. Unfortunately I am not too well versed in the actual ripping of content so i dont really know how people get the untouched “highest” bitrate content. But what you did appears to be wihtin the normal range, I would say.

I am not really part of the scene but am part of a community that shares the booty

Setting up a plex server takes less than 5 minutes and audiobooks are less than 100mb most of the time. So not really. Setting up audiobookshelf takes a bit more time if you don’t already have docker installed/setup on windows but even then. An hour maybe? At most?

JohnDClay,

Cool! Could you direct me to this five minute guide to setting up a Plex server? Also for these you’d need another computer that’s always on, right? If it’s off, you wouldn’t be able to access the server? Our family only uses laptops right now so that would be an issue.

Vendetta9076,
@Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works avatar

I can write the 5 minute guide out for you in this comment. Im assuming windows. And yeah the machine has to be on. Although you could just run it off your main machine, especially if its just audiobooks.

Make a plex account Download and run the latest version of PMS (plex media server) and follow the gui to create your media folders

Now if you only want to access the media within your home, you’re done. Grab the apps for each device and be on your way. If you want to access out of your home theres one more step. Port forwarding. Thats done within your router and is different for each one but basically boils down to this.

Find setting. Create port forward entry for whichever ip is hosting plex. Port forward 32400 on tcp/udp Done.

Im explaining it in short bullet point lines because it should be that easy.

dustojnikhummer,

Yes. You need a PC that can act as a server (so run 24/7). If you want outside access you would also need a VPN or expose your services to the internet.

DulyNoted, do games w Starfield - Review Thread (87/100 OpenCritic)

There’s quite a wide range of reviews. I tend to trust the ones who talk about how much fun the side content and faction quests a lot more than I trust the ones that were underwhelmed by the main questline. I’ve been playing these games since Oblivion and the only main questline I ever finished was Fallout NV.

these two tools apparently let you rip borrowed audiobooks from this service named libby. although i haven’t tested them. github.com/ping/odmpygithub.com/bookbonobo/libby-download-extension

also, have you checked the index? stuff like this is usually there.

ProvokedGamer,
@ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca avatar

They asked for audiobook sites online. They’d have to download for that so that wouldn’t work unfortunately. I saved your comment though because it’s still useful.

ProvokedGamer, (edited ) do piracy w A good place to listen to audio books online?
@ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca avatar

Have you checked the piracy mega thread? I think they have a few online audiobook sites listed there but correct me if I’m wrong.

Edit: if you have a library card, you could use Libby for listening to audiobooks for free.

JohnDClay,

I can’t seem to get mine to work, the library system doesn’t seem to be recognized.

ProvokedGamer,
@ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca avatar

Like your library doesn’t show up or?

JohnDClay,

Yes. It’s only giving about 25 library options in my area, and mine isn’t one of them.

ProvokedGamer, (edited )
@ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca avatar

This link may be useful for you. If the stuff listed in the link doesn’t work, then your library may not have Libby unfortunately. In that case, pirate then.

JohnDClay,

We use cloud library, but it doesn’t have as large of a selection.

dustojnikhummer,

a library card US library card.

ProvokedGamer,
@ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca avatar

I mean, I’m from Canada, so North American library card?

bblfrnz,

What if the OP is from South America or Europe, is there a Pan-American library card? Or maybe Transatlantic one?

I mean, if it was gonna be anyone, the Pinkertons would be it. I imagine they’re just waiting for the US to become corporate-owned enough that they can operate on US soil without getting in trouble again.

Nice. So not a perfect game. There are bugs and some parts may not be as great, but overall a very good Bethesda experience.

Looking forward to playing it!

Congratulations XBox Players!

Thank you! It seems to be a pretty successful launch overall!

@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I read and watched some reviews, and I am very happy.

I think the gist of it is, that it’s a new Bethesda IP, it’s not Elder Scrolls, and it’s not Fall out. It doesn’t play exactly like those games. Looking forward to playing it whenever I get my Xbox 😀

echoplex21, do games w Starfield - Review Thread (87/100 OpenCritic)

Never did I think I would see the day where a game gets majority positive sentiments but it’s the mainstream editorials that has the controversial lower scoring reviews. Will be interesting as we see more and more that it’s not the company but the reviewer matters more. Makes sense as a corporation doesn’t decide whether you like a game but if you know a reviewers taste, you can tell whether a game is good or not knowing their previous biases.

BiomedOtaku, do piracy w So how fast do y'all think Starfield will get cracked when the early access goes live tonight?

Think a group or person named RUNE cracked it already. At least that’s what the reddit post said.

Mothra, do piracy w Anime/Manga Content ( Spanish)
@Mothra@mander.xyz avatar

Not so long ago I searched for a Spanish dub of a very popular anime and had a tough time finding active seeds on most sites listed on the Treasure Trove page.

I think YMMV depending on what you look for, and how old is it. I had much better results adding “Spanish” and “latino” to a simple google search. Turns out some people stream a single series on a website (as opposed to multiple series hosted on large streaming platforms).

sub_, do piracy w Anime/Manga Content ( Spanish)

There’s a site called mangadex that has scanlations translated in many different languages, you can use the filter on advanced search to narrow it down to manga translated to Spanish (ES) or Spanish (Latam)

It’s also quite a good way to learn foreign languages (open up chapters translated to English and other foreign languages and read them like a polyglot book)

workerONE, do xbox w Starfield Review And Discussion Mega-thread

I don’t think the reviews are all that positive.

MrScottyTay, do gaming w Super Mario Wonder's online multiplayer may be disappointing, but we have already witnessed that the alternative would be far worse.

I think the multiplayer aspect looks interesting but also not completely for me. It won’t get me to buy NSO. But if I get it briefly for some splatoon or Mario kart then I’ll probably dabble in it on Mario wonder too.
