For real. I become a little bit of a snob when it comes to my audiobooks. I have a collection going of near 2000 and thats about 2TB of space. Now, I do try and get the “best” I can of what’s available, and, to be fair, 64kbps books are truly well and good. There are also ones that sound great and don’t pack a high bitrate, but once it hits the 32kbps that when its rare I’ll touch them unless the are the only copies I can find. Personally, I hate how much highly compressed books make the narrators sound. Just awful
That seems normal. The copy I have in an m4b ~530 MB (@63kbps). There are various tools like the one you mentioned and (https://github.com/VarSell/iAmDeaf) which I’m sure does the same thing. Unfortunately I am not too well versed in the actual ripping of content so i dont really know how people get the untouched “highest” bitrate content. But what you did appears to be wihtin the normal range, I would say.

I dumped my Audible books. Metro 2035 is around 550MBs, Windows reports 62kbps bit rate. Is that normal? m4b Downloaded with Booklib+AAX Converter
