I don’t know about the value of libro.fm… Seems to me that the monthly subscription is the price of a physical book and you only get one per month?

I get a much better deal with my city’s library which offers a large catalogue of audio books for free. It’s not owning, it’s borrowing like you would from a library but at least it doesn’t cost anything.

Thanks! Self hosted mode is exactly what I wanted. I looked into Frigate and this might completely replace the cloud app for me.

I’ve use these firmwares. They’re nice for getting rstp, network storage and shell access. However afaik, they don’t block the cloud streaming and theoretically unauthorized access through the app. I’ve been looking for a way to only allow LAN access through the app and it works for a time. Access through VPN has been a challenge though.
