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!

Please add a column whether it is an actual recording of a human voice or AI generated.

There needs to be a column for the name of the narrator. I will listen to almost anything read by a narrator that I like. The LibriVox version of Flatland has long, detailed descriptions of the illustrations, but I've still listened to it several times because the narrator has a great accent.

She's Ruth Golding btw. https://librivox.org/reader/2607?primary_key=2607&search_cat...

That's a good idea, it would likely help filter my voice preference. Some of the audio recording are more difficult to listen to than others.
