Unironically the library. Then just use something like Audiobookshelf to organize your collection.

Every pirate should have a library card.
Everyone in general
The library in my town is nothing fancy like the ones from the USA (just old old educational books and I got caught on some books of the first PC viruses lol), but hey, at least they had this gem.
Ones here in the states vary a lot from place to place. Some places have absolutely everything, books, movies, games, tools, makerspaces (or at least 3d printers), computers etc.
But most city libraries outside if your big big ones are still relatively small. My local one is about the size of a small grocery store, real modest. Damn do the workers there pour their hearts and souls into it though, they're always hosting events and stuff. Really appreciate our library workers. Main benefit is getting access to their network, which generally gets you a whole host of other stuff. Ebook rentals, audio book rentals, book transfers, etc.
It's a shame what the GoP is trying to do to the American library system.
I get all my audiobooks from Libby
Is Libby downloadable/crackable?
It's a library app, mate. It's free.
I don't think that Libby itself is. There's DRM and while there is probably a way to strip it, I don't think that is easy and/or publicly shared. But Overdrive, which is Libby's predecessor, allows for DRM free MP3 downloads. But they've been trying to sunset Overdrive for a long time. The Windows desktop program needed to download the MP3 files is no longer linked on their site, for example (but is still downloadable if you know the exact link). I'm honestly not sure why it even still works unless it's to comply with some ancient contract they have with a library somewhere.
Yep, exactly my experience. I’ll miss Overdrive.
knowing how government institutions work I'd also assume they can't get the libraries to switch to a new program

- InternetArchive
Thx for the info ✌️✌️
I'm not sure why no one suggested AudioBook Bay, but it is also quite good in my experience.
MaM (myanonamouse) is like the library of Alexandria
MAM is why I have a seedbox.
I will check this thx for the info 👍👍
Whenever this question comes up I see myanonamouse recommended as a private tracker.
I just wanted to throw in that there is also a tracker called abtorrents which hosts audiobooks and ebooks, though I believe most or all of them are english.
I cannot speak as to the selection between those two unfortunately.
Depending on your country, Spotify has a lot. Download it with zotify. No need for a premium account
Mobilism dot org too
Seconded for mobilism. It's pretty good
Myanonamouse.com
hoerbuch.us if you want German content.
I get mine from Soulseek. I can usually find what I'm looking for.
I've downloaded many off of the internet service. Plus there's a bunch on YouTube you can download with a browser extension or a website that can convert it for you.
