Hey all,

I’m looking to grab the audio files from Blinkist (I have an annual subscription if that matters) because I want to be able to listen to them at a slightly faster speed and their in app player doesn’t allow this.

Is there a way to either rip these from the site using a scraper - the Blinkist-m4a-downloader on GitHub doesn’t work anymore - or I guess automate a process to save the books in app, download them - audio files are streamed but you can save and download for offline playback within the app - and three somehow pull them off my phone storage?

    Oh nice one, I’ll take a better look at it when I get him. how does it work exactly? Will I need to manually point it at the book url?

      Yeah. Specify the books by url. Just run audiobook-dl [url] after installing. It supports downloading multiple books with a single command.
