Im looking for an app for android that allows streaming audio books, downloads ect.

Any favorites? From fdroid or mobilism?

Edit: I have audiobookshelf hosted and a small library, but I want a deeper selection. Im not looking for an audio book player so much as a streaming app with access to anything.

Audiobookshelf

This hits all the requirements. Streaming, saving locally, and Foss.

https://audiobookshelf.org such a great app. And it does podcasts.

The background image of the homepage makes me cringe, though. Horrible set of examples to showcase (Ayn Rand, Rothbard, Hayek, Adam Smith, ...).

[–] xenspidey@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Then don't listen to those examples...

[+] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net -6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I won't. It's just leaving the impression that the people running that homepage have some horrible political takes. Could have been avoided by chosing some less politically loaded examples, like Isaac Asimov, Charlotte Bronte, JRR Tolkien, George R R Martin or Mary Shelly.

Horrible, in your opinion... Genuine scholars will have books of differing opinions from their own on their shelf. Or else they would just be in an echo chamber. Besides, what does one's political take have to do with the quality of the software that they work on? It's like those that quit drinking Bud Light. Who cares who they sponsor, you like the beer or you don't.

Maybe. But these aren't differing opinions, but all roughly the same horrible opinion. I like George Orwell. But putting him next to Rand, Hayek, etc. puts 1984 into a different context.

Besides, what does one’s political take have to do with the quality of the software that they work on?

The politics of these fellas strictly countradict the philosophy most FOSS projects follow. It's not a big deal, but makes me do a double take.

It’s like those that quit drinking Bud Light.

Apples and oranges. Never said I'd boycot the software, or anything. It was jus a comment, chill.

Did this used to be iOS only?

[–] Maruki_Hurakami@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

I think prologue is iOS only.

[–] B0rax@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago

Literally the opposite. The iOS app is still not on the AppStore
