I love podcasts.

I use them frequently and automatically downloaded by the Podcatcher BeyondPod onto my smartphone. In contrast to podcasts, I transfered my audiobooks to my smartphone by cable – which usually was very annoying. Therefore I wrote a little script that is able to close the gap by converting all my audiobooks into subscribable podcast feeds!

Of course it is open source and can be found here:  https://github.com/PaulPetring/audiobook-feeds

Some adittional facts:

• it serves a website to browse your audiobooks and subscribe to certain books
• serves rss and atom feeds for import
• it offers a simple password protection to prevent copy right issues
• runs in docker container (see MakeFile and DockerFile)
• works when placed in subdirs example.com/audio/ (e.g. reg for ssl without wildcard)
• allows custom theming and uses material design as default theme
• handles encoding of filenames at best effort

I use it on regular basis and would like others to enjoy it as much as I do. So please feel free to use, spread and contribute to it. And see you soon 🙂
