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!

Nice! I hadn't really thought about audiobook versions of free books.

I wanted to see how many modern books it has (Gutenberg etc. is valuable, but often I'd prefer modern writing), but it says that eg. Shelley's "A Defence of Poetry and Other Essays" is from 2006. Shelley died at least a few years before 2006. Maybe the year is the recording date?

If so, that's not that useful to me, I'd want to see the date of the work, not the recording.
