Glad to hear, I almost chimed in and suggested you just setup audiobookshelf but thought you probably didn’t want to do another server.

It really is the best tool for the job.

Yeah! It was the plan at first but after reading and all the replies I had to come to the conclusion that Jellyfin don’t do music and audiobooks well

Congrats! I know it’s yet another app but I think you’ll find the audiobooks tailored experience is so much nicer

I’m just gonna drop this here. I really like ABS but I found it petty annoying that I need to download every podcast I want to listen to. So I created a virtual podcast directory. It can subscribe to RSS feeds and you can point ABS to it’s directory.

AudiobookShelf is great. One of the most polished self hosted apps out there and has a lot of great features that are lesser known (like converting to m4a)

So far that’s pretty great and their Discord were a lot helpful when I had difficulty with my folders tree

I’ve found it really annoying to deal with because it is ridiculously picky about how you structure your audiobooks and name the files. If you don’t get it exactly how it wants it, it fucks up imports.
