I am new to companion, but LOVE the app so far.

I am both an avid e-reader and audiobook listener. I manage my audiobook library with calibre as well, and I have books in each of the three most popular audio formats currently in use .mp3, .axx, .m4b (both DRM and DRM free).

At present companion only recognizes .mp3 for download however. The mp3 download works perfectly and allows me to listen to those files in bookmobile (or itunes for use with apple carplay in my vehicle).

I have been desperate for an app that would allow me to manage my complete library including audio transfer to my Iphone/Ipad without the necessity of cables and the abomination of Itunes, and companion is just sooooo close.

I am not a coder by any means, so I don't know how big an ask this is, but:

Would it be possible to have .m4b, .axx, and perhaps others (.m4a, .wav, etc as might make sense) to companion? Is this anything more than just adding recognition of those file suffixes to the list of sync-able file types?

This would be a HUGE value add for those audiophiles with diverse libraries who are looking for a one stop tool that doesn't require them to reformat all of their content.
