For those on iOS looking for a companion app, check out plappa for a great app to access your Audiobookshelf/jellyfin instance. It works flawlessly for me, no data collection, and it allows downloading books in advance for on the go if you choose not to have external access to your server.

Oh, absolutely. I agree with you. Cheaper than treatment and having to put up with pain and issues in perpetuity.

I don’t type enough, even when I do I don’t touch type properly (using ye old “blind chicken hawk” technique”). Thus, I can’t justify this for my situation.

If this is part of your job, this is value for money in the end, if the quality is there.

Very happy with Plappa. Highly recommend. One off purchase, no subscription.

For anyone looking for a good iOS front end for their Audiobookshelf instance, I can highly recommended Plappa (and off topic Paperparrot for paperless by the same dev). One off and affordable purchase, no subscription.

Appreciate the walkthrough and follow up.

You got your answers before, you just don’t want to accept them. The relationship between budget and performance expectation still borders delusion.

To quote u/Peachman who hit the nail on the head:

Looking for recommendations for a racecar, at least 800 horsepower. Needs to hit 60 mph in under 4 seconds. My budget is $2000. Please give recommendations. LOL

Fork out more money or lower your expectation.
