audible

Hi,

I been looking for an abs request client that doesn't rely on audible exclusively. What I mean is, so many of the ones that I've tested limit discovery to books only found on audible. So if I want to add a book that's not in audibles library, it doesn't show up when I search. I'm not entirely sure but looking through the documentation I think that's the case here too. Please correct me if I'm wrong and let me know if other metadata sources are planned in the future.

Many thanks🙏

@trsmith78 Unfortunately that is also the case here as that is the only available metadata API for audiobooks so far. I have looked into Hardcover in the past, but at the time it still needed time to mature; I can retest that.

Anyway, to clarify the process: We use that metadata to help expedite the "add to library" process, otherwise you'd need to manually insert it all. I do have manual entry on the roadmap though.

After that, we use the title and author to search against serving platforms (indexers, internet archives) to find the audiobook.

I really appreciate the reply! Thank you 🙏
I'm excited to see where you take this.
