Libation14.2.5

Libation lets Linux users import an Audible library into a searchable collection while preserving each book’s cover art. From that collection, they can download audiobooks, decrypt them to remove DRM, create backups, and retrieve accompanying PDFs. Tags add another layer of organization, while advanced search uses the Lucene search engine to locate titles in the library. Saved filters can be customized for recurring searches, allowing frequently used queries to be reused with preferred criteria.

It supports Audible libraries from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, India, and Spain. This suits listeners who want to manage audiobook files alongside supplementary reading material such as included PDFs. Cover art, tags, and reusable searches make it practical for maintaining a structured personal collection rather than handling books one at a time.

Alan Pope publishes Libation as free software under an open-source license, with its source available as an alternative to proprietary audiobook library managers. Version 14.2.5 runs on Linux systems using x86_64 (amd64) architecture and requires snapd. An Audible library provides the collection that Libation imports, organizes, searches, backs up, and processes through its DRM-removal workflow.
