Bookmarklet to add download links for audiobooks in the Overdrive loans page

bookmarklet.js

/* 1. Paste this entire gist over at https://mrcoles.com/bookmarklet/ to generate a bookmarklet */
/* 2. Use a meaningful Name like: 🎧 📖 Links */
/* 3. Drag the generated bookmarklet link to your Bookmarks Toolbar. */
/* 4. Click on the bookmarklet when you're on the Overdrive loan page, e.g. https://yourlibrary.overdrive.com/account/loans */
/* 5. The "Download MP3 audiobook" link should appear like it used to. */


$('a[data-format-id="audiobook-overdrive"]').each(function() {
    var listenBtn = $(this);
    if (listenBtn.hasClass('script-added')) {
        listenBtn.remove();
        return;
    }
    var dlBtn = listenBtn.clone();
    dlBtn.attr('class', 'loan-button-nonkindle button radius primary downloadButton script-added');
    dlBtn.attr('href', dlBtn.attr('href').replace('/audiobook-overdrive/', '/audiobook-mp3/'));
    dlBtn.html('<b>Download</b><br/><span class="dl-text">MP3 audiobook</span>');
    dlBtn.attr('target', '');
    listenBtn.parent().append(dlBtn);
});

I might piggyback off of the described method of obtaining a .har file and see if I can come up with a more robust solution though.

That would be great. Thought I'd run a test with Conroy's Beach Music but it's only 29 hours. :-)

Audio Downloader Prime

This worked :)

Yes, a bit laborious but better than nothing

Are the Libby parts being broken into smaller and smaller pieces on new releases? Used to the chunks were about an hour(ish) but I just flipped through a less than 11 hour book and it downloaded 34 MP3s. Older releases seem to be unaffected.

I suspect those tiny parts are a fluke. I've recently downloaded several books with ADP and all seem to have the same hour(ish) part size. I've occasionally downloaded books via the previous app that had tiny pieces as well.

I described my technique in detail about eight posts up.

I don't think it's a "fluke." I just downloaded Robt B Parkers Buried Secrets both ways and got 60 files. Maybe Overdrive used to get all the books on CD's which would account for the 1h 7min files. Maybe now they're getting them other ways with the files chapterized.

Are you downloading recently published titles? I've recently downloaded titles that start sections with "Side Two", obviously ripped from audiotapes. A recent news release from Blackstone Audio announces that they'll be distributing audiobook CDs from Recorded Books. That format is still the standard.
