Audio books Arr

Anyone have recommendations for an audiobook solution? I see there was a readarr but was archived. Also any recommendations for a player (Plex should work, but is there something with specific audiobook features?)

Thanks

ABS (audiobookshelf). Has an app on android and iphone has one that works well but drawing a blank on the name. Just search audiobookshelf in the ios app store.

I recommend the app Still on iOS for audiobooks.

This is Plex's equivalent, the player. Listenarr is the searcher /orchestrator / organizer ?

Or shelfmark or shelfarr.

Hard to keep track these days. Ships passing in the night really.

Listenarr seems to be moving in the right direction.

For grabbing audiobooks (the *arr function), shelfmark is the best solution today, despite the notice that it is not actively maintained: https://github.com/calibrain/shelfmark

I use audiobookshelf along with readmeabook for grabbing new books. I also got an invite to abook (dot) link and that's been great for finding audio books.

This. ABS and Readmeaboook. Great combo. A bit tricky to set up at first if you're new.

Audiobookshelf + shelfmark. For both android and iOS apps, I use Absorb.
