How many people listen to audio books on YouTube? Honestly it's kind of hit and miss as far as quality. I play them on my TV, set my sleep timer, and turn off the TV screen. Does anyone have any favorites or warnings?

I've been using storytel for 3 month, but their subscription become slightly high for me(+their website dutch only as the majority of comments in books review section), so I decided to swtich to another app. I got knew about storytel from somebody in twitter and I was like "oh it's great deal: a lot of books only for 10$ pro month", but then they raised the prise. Like storytel gives a fee if you're a student, but I'm from second world country, so I never heard of that stuff like getting fee code/discount in local libraries and i think it's EU only. So now i need to choose alternative. The situation with audiobook apps slightly difficult and as i understand there are not so many apps that provide a set of books for fixed subscription there are rather a lot of book stores that gives you ability to buy audiobook version. Among appropriate ones: audioble, barnes & noble, libro fm. But all of them has 15$ month subscription. I'm looking for iphone app with english interface, big set of sci-fi and fantasy(new york best seller) books in german and english for fixed substiption around 10$. Thanks.

PS: i'd like to listen onyx storm when it will come in release, so i don't think this book would be availible somewhere for free.

I'm an author of short horror stories/creepypasta.

I have tried to listen to Bunny and Rouge from Mona Awad and I could not get into it. I forced myself to listen to half of both books and it was absolute torture. They are both on my DNF list. I can’t figure out if it’s the narration, her writing style, or the actual stories? Anyone have similar experiences with these books or some perspective? I know not all books are for everyone but I was so excited for these books, I feel sad to have hated them so much.

Hi! I’m pretty new to audio books, I tend to use them mostly for classes to help me understand the book better. I’m reading This Bridge Called my Back by Cherrie Moraga and I really need help looking for this audio book. When I google looking for the audio book nothing pops up but if I google is there an audiobook version of the book it says it’s on audible, but I can’t find it. This is the last book I need to read for this class and I would really just rather listen to it

I am looking for something that truly grabs attention and keeps you listening for more. I asked Chatgpt and it said The Night Circus but i found that one draggy. I find fantasy/sci fi sometimes too hard to follow in audiobook format when there are many characters and a lot of world building. Also not looking for anything with a sad ending. I love all Jane Austen, love a mystery. Let me know what you all think!

Hi!

My name is Oskar and Im not regularly a producer of books but now I guess I am. And a damn proud one!

I have produced (advised, edited, financed and distributed) “Fuckup”, a true crime story that is a hell of a ride!

This raw and unsentimental autobiography portrays a life where every moment is a struggle for survival, and how he, amidst the darkness, finds the strength to continue in his love for his girlfriend. The book explores the relentless pursuit of The Big Deal, the brutal art of surviving in a South American prison, and navigating a merciless criminal underworld.

You can find it here: https://www.storytel.com/se/books/fuckup-10104419

To give the reader a truly honest picture, I have interviewed the main character anonymously. He tells in his own words about the crazy years of his life and how life developed after he realized he had been a "Fuckup" and took charge of getting his life back on track. You can find that special episode here: www.patreon.com/fuckupbonus

Hope you like it!

I'm listening to Stormlight Archives, and the narrator changed the accents of an entire ship's crew from the "common" accent to an exaggerated Frech-like (think, stereotypical French chef) accent. It's so distracting. 😩

The narrator speaks very well and at a good pace. I would suggest you to have a physical book with you just to keep track of all the stuff. Here's the playlist link :

So did you listen to anything good this week? Or something so truly terrible you want to warn other listeners?

Please include the following information: Author, Title and Narrator.

Why does identifying the Narrator matter?

Often books will be recorded with different narrators for different regions (ie. Harry Potter was read by both Jim Dale and Stephen Fry) or produced by different publishers (ie... Elizabeth Moon's books were produced by both Graphic Audio and Tantor). It is extremely helpful to other listeners to know what version you are sharing to avoid confusion.

Links to a source are welcomed and encouraged!

Overdrive, Audible, Downpour, Librivox, etc... It doesn't matter the source, as long as the Author, Title and Narrator are easily identified.

I'm an author of Dark Fantasy and much more.

I have many free UK Audible codes for my Travelling Towards the Present series and for Adam's Cross for my Witchfinder Series. Please be aware that they are UK-only codes.

The narrator of Warformed iron prince is taking breaths or something that sounds like it and it's distracting the hell outta me

I've been really interested in audiobooks lately and id like to start using some audiobook apps, but I tried a audible and It seemed as though I had to subscribe to the app to use the service AND buy the books I wanted to listen to., and a lot of the books are expensive. Is this how all audiobook apps work? Can anyone tell me about their experiences with audiobook apps and tell me what they think of them. To me this is like if I wanted to watch a movie, id have to pay for netflix subscription and then pay for the movie I want to watch.

I’m looking to take some of my ebooks and make them into audio books I don’t want to use my library I don’t want to pay for them I’m just looking to convert it to an audiobook where the voice is of someone actually reading, not just a robot

Hello,

Please recommend a new audiobook for me! Series are appreciated. I have a long commute and drive cross country frequently, so audiobooks help.

Audiobooks I have enjoyed: -JD Robb In Death series -Sookie Stackhouse series -A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson -Essays by Samantha Irby -Novels by Carl Hiaasen -Unwifeable by Mandy Stadtmiller -A Dirty Job series by Christopher Moore

Thanks all!!

It’s hard to play a 16-hour audiobook because every time I pause, I have to remember or note the exact timestamp where I stopped listening last time.

Is there a MAC based app that does this? Since I mainly listen to audiobooks while working on my mac air.

Ahoy! I'm an audiobook narrator with a few titles on Audible and I'm pleased to announce my latest work with DAFFODIL by Truant D Memphis. This is an absurdist and hilarious cosmological love story with dire implications for the universe as a young woman struggles to control the powers of her unique mind. Sometimes the voices in your head really are trying to tell you something, and saving the universe maybe isn't as uncommon as you'd think.

On audible what’s the best version of 20,000 leagues under the sea. Ideally a dramatization.

I know this a controversial opinion, but I think that Donna Tartt is an amazing narrator. I love her unique voice, accent and how natural she sounds.

I’ve been trying to find an audiobook (a good book intrinsically) that has a narrator of the same qualities. Any suggestions? I really appreciate it!!!

I’ve been searching for a good reader of Dorothy L. Sayers’ audiobooks. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi. I don't know if this is a good place to ask, but I'm trying to figure out how to listen to "Ninth Step Station" by Serial Box (Realm). I can't seem to find it anywhere. I paid for a subscription to Realm through Apple Podcasts, but it doesn't seem to be available there.

Thanks for any info!

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to find audiobooks to listen to while I work in the office but I found out that I prefer the dramatized audiobooks or graphic audios? I'm looking for recommendations but I keep getting recommended the same 7 books that I have already listened too ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, Lights Out, etc.

I'd really like a romance, I'm a little fantasy'd out and would like something a little more on the level of Love Hypothesis. "Real world and easy plot". I don't care if it's spicy or not.

Hi! I'm looking to get into Audiobooks for a long drive to and from home this holiday season. I've enjoyed various YouTube Documentarians such as Jacob Geller, Joseph Andersen and Frederick Knudsen. I'd like something similarly interesting and stimulating, and/or culturally relevant! I've been thinking about listening to short stories such as those by Borges or Jackson.

I also enjoy reading Horror, Fantasy and Sci-Fi!

I'm open to anything and everyone!

For me, I listen 3-5 hours a day 6 days a week. I don't listen on Saturdays unless I'm near the end and want to finish that last hour or so. Sometimes I'll take off Sunday as well. I get to listen at work so it's easy for me to be consistent.

"Luck in the Corporate Space Age" by J.A. Bellows (me!) It is a coming of age story set in a future where employment isn't a necessity but the social pressures of wealth persist.

This was my first time narrating an audiobook so I'm very open to feedback so quality can improve over time. Hope someone enjoys it!

I’m looking for an service or tool that can read online web serials aloud, similar to an audiobook. Ideally, it should allow me to input a link to the webpage and have the content read aloud with natural-sounding voices.

So far, I’ve come across options like Speechify, NaturalReader, and browser extensions like Read Aloud, but I’m curious if there are better or lesser-known alternatives out there.

Does anyone have experience with these or know of other services that work well for this purpose?

Are all apps like “Audible” subscription based? If not what’s the benefit to a monthly subscription based app like Audible? In this space what are the preferred avenues to listen to books? Can I buy audio books from anywhere and listen to them with or without an app?

Anyone know if Elodie Hart books are duets or dual narration?

Samples on Audible, Tik tok, google etc won’t tell me what style they are. Please help?

Kisses for all the help 😘

I have followed a few categories (productivity, career, relationships, etc.) based on which I get my daily free blinks. How can I revise that choice I made the first time I installed the app? (The app asked me what categories I want to follow on the first launch.)

Hello! Anyone encountered this issue in IBooks?

I want to try to sort my audiobooks in iBooks in a way that it is easier for me to check all of the books in a specific series.

In my Mac, I am able to select which audiobooks I can synchronize either to my iPhone or iPad. What I want is to be able to sort through all these audiobooks based on the Series it has and not the specific book title (i.e. Hunger Games Trilogy, Inheritance Cycle, Harry Potter, etc.)

To further illustrate, in the Audiobooks Tab of Finder for my specific device, I'd like to be able to see on the Audiobook part the name of my designated grouping - say Hunger Games Trilogy, when I click that, the Part column should show all 3 books associated with it.

Now this can be easily solved by changing the metadata of each audiobook Album tag to "Hunger Games Trilogy"

The problem now lies is how it is displayed when I view it in iBooks app in my Mac, iPhone or iPad — it will only be just one entry — which would be Hunger Games Trilogy. iBooks seems to render all the audiobooks as one item.

Is there a metadata tag I can fill up to make sure that iBooks still treats each of these audiobooks as separate items instead of one?
