Getting started

Audible audiobook manager

The good

  • Import library from audible, including cover art
  • Download and remove DRM from all books
  • Download accompanying PDFs
  • Add tags to books for better organization
  • Powerful advanced search built on the Lucene search engine
  • Customizable saved filters for common searches
  • Open source
  • Supports most regions: US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, India, and Spain

The bad

  • Windows only
  • Large file size
  • Made by a programmer, not a designer so the goals are function rather than beauty. And it shows

The ugly

  • Documentation? Yer lookin' at it
  • This is a single-developer personal passion project. Support, response, updates, enhancements, bug fixes etc are as my free time allows
  • I have a full-time job, a life, and a finite attention span. Therefore a lot of time can potentially go by with no improvements of any kind

Disclaimer: I've made every good-faith effort to include nothing insecure, malicious, anti-privacy, or destructive. That said: use at your own risk.

I made this for myself and I want to share it with the great programming and audible/audiobook communities which have been so generous with their time and help.
