One more way to enjoy Emby

[francoisp 15]

I wanted to share a novel way—for me, at least—to enjoy music on Emby. I recently picked up several "Bach Guild" classical albums from Amazon for just 99 cents each. These are massive collections with 6 to 10 hours of music performed by real musicians, not AI.

Because they are so long, I found myself constantly listening to the same opening tracks and never reaching the end. Random play wasn't an option since the order of movements is essential in classical music. My solution? Treating them as audiobooks.

I used a tool on GitHub called m4bBookmaker to convert the albums. It’s a free program, though I paid $5 for the compiled Windows version to save time. Now that they are in audiobook format, Emby tracks my progress and lets me resume exactly where I left off. I’ve set up a dedicated directory and library in Emby specifically for these, and it works perfectly.
