[–] wolfshadowheart@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) You are severely overestimating both in your assumptions. I think I have like 3,000 audiobooks in .mp3s and it takes hardly 5gb. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Wow, and those aren't unlistenable due to compression? Cool. Yeah I would have thought it was more like 1gb per 10 hours, but I guess it's orders of magnitude less than that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dudemanbro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) 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.

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.
