I could either go home, start the server, and run, or I could just go for my run and use the normal app instead. <\/p>\n<p>By normal app I mean using Audible&#8217;s app rather than Audiobookshelf. Luckily I have books that I am reading on both apps so I can listen to either one or the other, without having to sync the player to the right place. <\/p>\n<p>One of the issues that I come across, after installing the apps on so many instances is that I do some things so that it boots with every boot on one system but not the next.\u00a0The result is that if I reboot to move the Pi from one place to another I need to restart the services. If I had not moved the app I would have no issue. Starting audiobookshelf takes a few seconds. It&#8217;s just a matter of remembering. <\/p>\n<p>On the other side of things I was worried that playing books or podcasts via Audiobookshelf would be complicated by the lack of a car app but this isn&#8217;t the case. If you&#8217;re parked somewhere with a phone or wifi signal you can queue the podcast or book you want to listen to, press play and it will play through the sound system. It&#8217;s more fiddly than using a car play app, but not by much. <\/p>\n<p>## And Finally<\/p>\n<p>Audiobookshelf is a great app that I like to use daily, for podcasts and audiobooks. Once it is set up it works very well. It&#8217;s great that it keeps track of what we have listened to and downloads recent podcasts. It doesn&#8217;t have a way to automate the importing of books but that will come with time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Yesterday I was already out when I noticed that I forgot to restart the audiobookshelf instance on my server before the run.
