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.

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, …).

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

Look, you’ve already got the best audiobook player. The problem you’re having now is sourcing, the solution is to get a MyAnonymouse account. They do open registrations fairly often and it’s literally the easiest private tracker to keep up with. You may not want to torrent, but I don’t think you’re gonna find a better way to get the selection you want. MAM really is the best.

I think so. It’s very rare I can’t find what I’m looking for.

If you want to host it, audiobook shelf is great. I use it for audiobooks, ebooks, and podcasts.

Other than that I’d just say get a library card and use Libby. If you have files in your phone playbook works but I don’t remember if its on fdroid.

I love Libby but my county library is about to get defunded by 90% which means digital books are gonna be scarce.

Can you specify the name of the app or where to find it?

If you have a library card they may use the Libby app for ebooks and audiobooks. My apologies for a non-piracy answer.

I’m with you. All the other replies seem to assume you already have the audiobooks you want. Are you trying to stream audiobooks you possess or source audiobooks?
