What is bragibooks?
Bragibooks is a self-hosted web application for cleaning up and managing audiobook libraries. It provides a web interface for merging multiple audio files, converting MP3s to M4B format, cleaning up existing M4B metadata, and fetching metadata from Audible via ASIN lookup. Built with Django and Celery for background processing, it runs in Docker with persistent configuration storage. The app uses m4b-merge for audiobook processing and audnexus for metadata retrieval from Audible (US only).
