Check out the iOS app Bound if you ever have a bunch of downloaded audiobook files that can’t fit in Audible, Libby, etc. I’m using it with the MP3s for Dragonsteel Prime and it works great.

@manton Nice! I may have to try that for listening to the secret projects.

This is great! I’ve stripping the DRM from my Audible collection using ffmpeg, so I’ll give Bound a try. Thanks for the recommendation.

@manton If you’re interested in alternate audio book apps, Prologue is also a really cool option! It’s a great app that works with a Plex server to host your personal audio book library apps.apple.com/app/id145922326

@alexlafroscia That looks really interesting! I don’t use Plex but will keep that in mind.

@manton I recently discovered libro.fm for DRM-free audiobooks, and will make it my primary audiobook bookstore. I listened to audiobooks from there using Overcast. Works great, and I like having audiobooks and podcasts in one app.

@MitchW I thought about loading up these MP3s in Overcast too, and making a playlist for them. In this case there are dozens of chapters as separate files.

@manton I encountered that same problem with my first open audiobook, but then I learned there’s an open file format for audiobooks, which libro.fm and Overcast support. I forget the name of it. Your audiobook comes all in one file, with chapters. Very nice!
