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
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’m currently in the process of re-downloading everything on x265 because of the smaller files sizes. Whats do you guys think? Also has anybody experience with Tdarr?
I mainly stick to x265 for the size. I’m not too snobby with quality and for the size its fine with me. I want to like AV1 but have issue with playback on some of my devices. Usually i just play locally off a HDD on xbox (Kodi) . This may not be an issue if/when I get a NAS. Not sure if there are issues with transcoding as I haven’t really looked into it
[Codec]: This can be a lot but kinda depends on what the uploader wants to mention/bring attention to
<span style="color:#323232;"> Video: x264 (AVC) or h264, x265(HEVC) or h265, AV1, x266 (VVC), etc...
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> May also include stuff like : 8bit (SDR), 10bit (HDR), DV (Dolby), Hybrid
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> Audio: # of channels (5.1, 7.1)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> Codecs: Will tell you if the audio is lossless vs lossy
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> Examples DTS:X, TrueHD Atmos, DTS-HD MA, TrueHD, LPCM, FLAC [lossless] vs. DTS-HD HR, E-AC3, DTS-ES, DTS, AC3 [lossy]]

Finally there is the container file which nowadays is MKV (Matroska Video file) but you can run into MP4. There are older formats but you don’t see them very often so I wont really mention them.
This is a quick run down but there is plenty of info out there that goes more into detail and you can just google questions like: what is lossless vs lossy?
So I have a few 5TB external drives with all my media. I mainly just hook them up to my xbox and use kodi to play the files locally. I should probably be investing into a NAS or some sort of JBOD, but that’s a whole other issue....
I’ll look into this. I appreciate it. Probably down the road ill set up True NAS or set up some sort of thing with ZFS but have to kinda get more acquainted with all the programs and stuff associated with their use.
A good place to listen to audio books online?
Anyone know if anything like this?
Whats your preferred codec? angielski
