User guide and source code on my
Github repo
Librivox has a good list of free public domain audiobooks created by the community. To get their books in M4B format, search them on the
Internet Archive and select
Librivox Apple Audiobook as download format.
Support this project by making a
small donation. All proceeds will be donated to local charities.
Thanks to
bozza111 who came up with the idea of supporting audiobook formats with KinAMP.
LARK might still miss some important functionalities. I'm planning to add chapter and bookmark support in the future.
I'm also open to feedback and suggestions - and maybe other contributors to this project.
