Thumbs up Audiobook Downloader Pro 1.2-FREE 6-18-2011 ONLY

Giveaway of the Day has this program free today only (available until midnight Pacific Time). They are giving away the regular and the portable versions. No tech support or upgrades are included, and the software has to be activated today otherwise you are SOL. I installed the portable version since that one is transferrable.

The audiobooks are obtained from LibriVox so you have the choice of 64/kbps or 128 kbps or Ogg Vorbis formats. This software will download all of the audiobook's files at once, rather than individually as you would have to do on the LibriVox website. Its search engine is quick. In my case, the files opened up in my AngelsVox program and I was able to choose which narrator's version I wanted to keep - when there were multiple versions.

Audiobook Downloader Pro is a fast and convenient download manager of free audio books from the LibriVox and Internet Archive catalogs. It enables you to effectively find an audiobook that you are interested in, and quickly download it using the multipart multithreading technique.

With the help of this program you can pause downloading files anytime, and then resume these downloads when you will need it. You are also able to read a book summary by using the Open Audiobook Page feature.

Audiobook Downloader Pro can be integrated with audiobook player for Windows. Or you can simply play back downloaded audiobooks with a default associated media player. The auto-update feature will give you access to the latest available program features and audio books.

Thank you for this -but this seems like getting iTunes for free when they would normally charge $30 to enable you to ... buy things.

Since it only seems to work to organize books bought from that site - what advantage is there to this 'free' utility? To let me buy things?

Giveaway of the day does sometimes have some good deals. One time they had a version of Liquid Story Binder as their giveaway.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this question. It looks like the advantage - aside for getting it free on that particular day rather than paying the normal price for it - is that it acts like a download manager, meaning that you don't have to waste your time downloading each file individually from LibriVox until you get the whole audiobook - as you would normally have to do given that the audiobooks are usually broken into multiple segments, and gives you the opportunity to sample each narrator (there are usually multiple versions of books) so you can choose the one you want to listen to. IIRC, LibriVox audiobooks are read by volunteers so there is a difference in the voice talent.

LibriVox audiobooks are free, so you're not paying for anything from them. This bit of software is normally not free. It's just a useful utility if you like to get audiobooks from LibriVox; it doesn't force you to "buy" any audiobooks.

I've downloaded free software offerings from Giveaway of the Day for years, and have gotten some really useful software from them for free.
