Audio Downloader Prime

This worked :)

Yes, a bit laborious but better than nothing

Are the Libby parts being broken into smaller and smaller pieces on new releases? Used to the chunks were about an hour(ish) but I just flipped through a less than 11 hour book and it downloaded 34 MP3s. Older releases seem to be unaffected.

I suspect those tiny parts are a fluke. I've recently downloaded several books with ADP and all seem to have the same hour(ish) part size. I've occasionally downloaded books via the previous app that had tiny pieces as well.

I described my technique in detail about eight posts up.

I don't think it's a "fluke." I just downloaded Robt B Parkers Buried Secrets both ways and got 60 files. Maybe Overdrive used to get all the books on CD's which would account for the 1h 7min files. Maybe now they're getting them other ways with the files chapterized.

Are you downloading recently published titles? I've recently downloaded titles that start sections with "Side Two", obviously ripped from audiotapes. A recent news release from Blackstone Audio announces that they'll be distributing audiobook CDs from Recorded Books. That format is still the standard.

If anyone is interested in unlimited audiobook downloads for $5/month please reach out to me.

Easier to download audiobooks from Libby with chrome/opera addons such as Tampermonkey + LibreGRAB
Works like a charm.

Love Tampermonkey. Almost as fast as when we could direct download from Overdrive.

Do you get chapters and metadata?

https://github.com/PsychedelicPalimpsest/LibbyRip Read down to the "how to" and "bakeMeyaData.py" part.

Thanks.

I didn't know that project.

I have my own (private) solution that works for me.
It implies a minimum of manual intervention but it works, including metadata (with only second time resolution though).

From what I've read of that python code, the monkey script is the one that does the heavy lifting.

I'll definitely have a look
