The conversion can be kind of slow considering the length of the files, but it got the job done.
FFmpeg is easy to install in the subsystem and a little loop to convert all files in a folder: Convert any m4a files to mp3 then delete the m4a files > for f in *.m4a do ffmpeg -i " $f" -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k " $.mp3" done Luckily, Bash on Windows is here to help. aa which I’m pretty sure is Audible and thus also useless). m4b which means it was an iTunes book and thus useless, another was. This was very easy, since almost all the files were already.
The first step was to convert everything to mp3. Before even trying to get them into Plex, the files needed some love. I had books organized into folders by author and maybe series, files were inconsistently named, and file types were not uniform. Pre-Plex CleanupĪs I said before, my collection was a mess. I decided to try and fix that this week, using Plex of course. In the past, I have been pretty terrible about managing my audiobooks. To pass the time, we listen to various podcasts and audiobooks. We have made this trip a few times now (20), and we’re used to the long drive which is about 12 hours from Columbus. We’re excited for this, for various reasons. I'm happy to answer any other questions you have.In a couple of weeks I’ll be driving to Montreal with my dad for the Canadian Grand Prix. Very simple, bland interface, but it just works better. You have to open the app to rewind if you missed something.īecause of all this I have started to use BookSonic instead. Because plex just treats these as songs, hitting "back" restarts the whole chapter. I'm spoiled by apps like podcast addict which give me great flexibility over the play, pause, and rewind functions. This means you need to remember where you left off in the book even if the progress within the chapter is saved. Also, because an "album" is very far from a book, there is no "watched" status saved as you progress through the chapters like you get in the TV shows library. After pausing, the app frequently closes completely making you reopen the app and hit play. In my experience using the android app, it's clear that audio playback was an afterthought for plex. Be sure to enable the setting that saves your progress. I have a "music" library setup with the Audible Metadata agent.
I have this all setup and about two months of experience with it. Please go to the relevant subreddits and support forums, for example: Build help and build shares posts go in their respective megathreads
