Audibly Alternatives

Audibly is described as 'Desktop Audiobook player for Windows 10/11. Supports .m4b and .mp3 file types. It also supports audiobooks that consist of multiple files. I created this because Audible removed their desktop player (and I really hate browser based players)' and is an app in the news & books category. There are more than 10 alternatives to Audibly for a variety of platforms, including Android, iPhone, Android Tablet, F-Droid and Web-based apps. The best Audibly alternative is Voice, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Audibly are Audible, VoiceIncome, Smart AudioBook Player and Cozy Player.
