I guess for me I'm much more inclined to use GitHub projects on stuff like that as I prefer to keep my browser lightweight & reduce risk of malware extensions. If you prefer extensions over programs in general, then I understand
I used to work while listening to audiobooks so I have come across a lot of this.
It's not quite what you asked for but what I found was that in general, nonfiction memoirs were my favorite types of books to listen to as it would be ok if you get distracted and they were usually very interesting to me.
If I remember later I'll check my list of books I've read and try to find some good fiction too.
I use plexamp too with a large library so I can comment on the android side (I didn't know some of these differences existed)
the app has settings for audio quality dependent on connection type, including not converting hires audio
as far as I can tell the EQ in plexamp is global across devices, though it has presets for specific devices
-same on Android I don't think you can manually listen to downloaded songs outside of the app
I'll also comment that I sort all my music by folder and Plex does ok with this
Not great, but it works
I've actually found myself surprised at how my brain doesn't hear that was weird. I personally find it very natural. Maybe it's because I was read a lot of stories verbally as a kid?
Elevenlabs is incredible but yeah it's not there 100% for audiobook purposes I think. I trained it on an audiobook from one of my favorite narrators and had it read from another book. It sounded just like the guy but the intonations and mannerisms just weren't quite there to match the text.
It's weird. When there's just one narrator and they do different voices for different characters I don't think twice about it but I can still tell the characters apart by voice alone. But when there's an entirely different person's voice my attention gets mildly distracted by it. It's similar to when sometimes books will have a random sentence read out by someone different than the narrator, probably a post recording correction.
That being said it's usually pretty few and far between when I come across an audiobook book with multiple narrators, and usually it's per section of the book (maybe from the perspective of different characters) rather than switching mid dialogue between characters
I always was sad to see people bashing the Bixby buttons existence. I never used Bixby ever but it was so useful as a macro button. Now they took the button away.
I've started consciously avoiding clickbait looking thumbnails for a while. While this addon looks great on paper, I do prefer to support creators who don't treat me like a kid in a candy store. That being said, I had no idea this addon existed, that's pretty cool
It's an open source model viewer. What makes it really cool is that it handles models easily from explorer, loading them instantly when you open the file & it even generated thumbnails for the files too
What does it do?
