⁠Audible audiobook manager

⁠The good

• Import library from audible, including cover art
• Download and remove DRM from all books
• Download accompanying PDFs
• Add tags to books for better organization
• Powerful advanced search built on the Lucene search engine
• Customizable saved filters for common searches
• Open source
• Supports most regions: US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, India, and Spain
• Fully supported in Windows, Mac, and Linux

⁠The bad

• Large file size
• Made by a programmer, not a designer so the goals are function rather than beauty. And it shows

⁠The ugly

• Documentation? Yer lookin' at it
• This is a single-developer personal passion project. Support, response, updates, enhancements, bug fixes etc are as my free time allows
• I have a full-time job, a life, and a finite attention span. Therefore a lot of time can potentially go by with no improvements of any kind

Disclaimer: I've made every good-faith effort to include nothing insecure, malicious, anti-privacy, or destructive. That said: use at your own risk.

I made this for myself and I want to share it with the great programming and audible/audiobook communities which have been so generous with their time and help.
