I noticed that many websites offering free audiobooks tend to have clunky search functionality, making it harder to find what you're looking for. To address this, I’ve created a site that aggregates audiobooks from multiple platforms—complete with book reviews and ratings—making it easier to discover and explore new titles.

At the moment, I've included audiobooks from popular sources like Librivox, Project Gutenberg, and Lit2Go.

I'm open to suggestions on additional free audiobook sources I could integrate into the site to expand the collection!

Are the ratings for the books, or for the recordings?

The ratings are for the books not the audio recording. Unfortunately there is no data points for the rating of the audio, since the sources don't collect rating.

I could add a feature to allow for audio recording rating in the future. It would be helpful since some audio recordings can be of poor quality.

Ratings are collected for Librivox recordings in their app --- check and see if they can be accessed externally?
