About this app

LibriVox Downloader conveniently downloads free audio books from the LibriVox collection, which can then be played in a suitable audio player. Smart AudioBook is recommended.

This app was a Christmas gift for my wife. If you get something useful out of it, so be it.

The books are by default downloaded to the LibriVox folder on your SD card / external storage. You should set MortPlayer Audio Book to use that folder as its main folder, or use the Options in LibriVox Downloader to select a different folder for it to download to.

Features:
- browse by genre or author
- search by title or author
- choose between ogg and mp3
- download cover art

If you're having trouble getting LibriVox Downloader working, email arpruss@gmail.com before leaving feedback.

NOTE 1: I recommend downloading audio books only via WiFi. These are very large downloads, about 350 mb or so each.

NOTE 2: I've had one user report that ogg downloads work better than mp3 ones. I am investigating.

I use Librivox books all the time, but I haven't honestly found a need to have a separate downloader app instead of going through the Librivox reader app.

It doesn't work as of April 2021. It just gives an error message and says to try later.

What's new

1.12: Work with latest Librivox API
1.08: Slightly more family friendly; UI improvements
1.07: Disable SSL host check to work with Librivox site's cert.
1.06: Update to work with new Librivox API. Remove ogg support due to this (sorry).
1.05: Finer-grained download count to help with debugging
1.03: Retry downloads (configurable in the options) on failure or on zero-length. This should make the reliability higher.
1.02: Fix an unclosed cursor crash.
