With Readarr calling it quits, I’m looking for an alternative. More interested in audiobook functionality than ebook. I tried LazyLibrarian, and absolutely hated it.

    It never worked well for me. Not because it couldn’t fetch ebooks, but because it defaults to adding an author’s entire library, which was dumb for my reading habits.

    I would search for a book, find it, only be able to add the author, and then have to uncheck almost all the books the author had written because I just wanted one.

    Sorting by “books” just showed me a list of hundreds of books when I just wanted 7 of those.

    If your workflow matched that for readarr, I’m sure it worked well, metadata problems aside.

      Huh. I am sure you could search for individual books. For sure you could do it by goodreads ID I think? Yes, adding an entire author as the primary way to do things is a bit much for some. I know for sure I have managed to do individual books before now.
